The $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News is now underway in earnest.
Some of the key players have recently been deposed or are scheduled to be in the coming weeks. Sean Hannity. Tucker Carlson. Lou Dobbs. Maria Bartiromo. Even Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch could find themselves answering questions. The case is slated for trial early next year.
On the most basic level the lawsuit is about the outrageous claims of fraud that emerged in the aftermath of the 2020 election, when Donald Trump's irresponsible, stop-at-nothing flunkies and lackeys were peddling false stories in an effort to undermine the outcome of the vote.
