Buried deep in the newly released 197-page filing by Dominion Voting Systems in its mammoth $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News for suggesting that the 2020 presidential election was stolen with help from rigged Dominion voting machines is one very explosive sentence:
“During Trump’s campaign, Rupert (Murdoch) provided Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, with Fox confidential information about Biden’s ads, along with debate strategy (providing Kushner a preview of Biden’s ads before they were public).”
The assertion that Rupert Murdoch leaked non-public Biden campaign ads and debate strategy to the Trump campaign is not mentioned again, mainly because it lacks relevance to the rest of the lawsuit. Dominion’s lawyers were making an extraneous reference to some of Murdoch’s deposition in the case.
