The highly anticipated defamation trial was due to start Monday, but has been pushed back 24 hours.
Fox denies the accusations that their 2020 Election—the legal standard to prove defamation—and that they purposely spread false information or recklessly disregarded the truth on their network. Fox claims their coverage of the alleged vote-rigging claims was newsworthy and protected by the Constitution's First Amendment guarantee of press freedom.
Fox Corp had asserted since Dominion filed its lawsuit in 2021 Murdoch had no official role at Fox News, but wrote in April 2023 filings that Murdoch is also an"executive chair" at Fox News. In his letter, Rohrbacher said the network"never intended to omit information" to the court and that the inaccurate representations about Murdoch's role at Fox News were"not meant to mislead the Court or evade the question."
"We understand the Court's concerns, apologize, and are committed to clear and full communication with the Court moving forward," Rohrbacher wrote. "We should have provided to the Court a complete and prompt response to the Court's questions concerning the identities of all of Fox News' officers. We apologize and never intended to avoid responding to a question from the Court."
