Dominion Voting Systems has taken Fox News to court, with a defamation case that seeks $1.6 billion in damages. The case relates to false claims made by Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell in relation to the election, which were broadcast by Fox. Proceedings got underway in the Delaware Superior Court, with Fox attempting to settle the case before trial. Judge Eric M. Davis ruled largely in Dominion’s favor, and in preparation for a potentially lengthy trial, Abby Grossburg filed two lawsuits against Fox. Smartmatic, a rival election technology company, had filed a separate $2.7 billion suit against Fox in the New York courts.
