NEW YORK — Fox News stars including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity have been deposed in recent weeks by a voting machine company’s lawyers as part of an ongoing suit.
Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News last year for defamation, saying the network peddled election fraud conspiracies despite knowing they were false. Dominion wants a $1.6 billion payout.
Fox has said it’s “proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court.” The network tried to have the suit thrown out, but a judge rejected that effort in December.
