NEW YORK — While Fox News guests and anchors presented former President Donald Trump's false allegations that voter fraud led to his loss in the 2020 election, network boss Rupert Murdoch didn't believe a word of it.
Deposition testimony released Tuesday showed that Murdoch, the chairman of Fox Corp., did not buy into any of the theories pushed by Trump's legal representatives and surrogates on his conservative news network.
Fox News is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems in a $1.6 billion defamation suit that alleges the network deliberately lied about fraud claims to boost its ratings. Murdoch was deposed in the case Jan. 19.
