Fox News has agreed to hand over thousands of documents to voting machine company Smartmatic, which is suing the network for defamation.
Last week, Fox agreed to pay Dominion nearly $800 million to avert a trial, althoughSmartmatic wants a $2.7 billion judgment, which far exceeds theDominion sought in its suit. No date has been set and the case might not go to court for a couple of years.
Among the documents Smartmatic hopes will bolster its case are deposition transcripts for Fox founder Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan Murdoch, as well as documents related to company executive Raj Shah and lawyer Viet Dinh. Because Florida-based Smartmatic's machines were only used in Los Angeles during the 2020 election, the company had little influence on the presidential race. Still, Fox's on-air personalities sometimes conflated Dominion and Smartmatic.
