made public Monday from plaintiff Dominion Voting Systems spotlights statements from higher-ups, including Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, that suggest the network knowingly aired false claims of a stolen election.
As MSNBC legal analyst Harry Litman told Nicolle on Monday, Murdoch is the “star” of Dominion’s latest filing — what Litman called a “killer document" — in its $1.6 billion defamation suit. Among other potentially damning evidence, Murdoch conceded in deposition testimony that Fox News personalities"endorsed" the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. It further quotes Murdoch saying that he could have stopped Fox News from continuing to bring former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani on air to lie about Dominion, “But I didn’t.”
Of the business decision to give a platform to conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, “Murdoch agreed that ‘It is not red or blue, it is green,’” according to Dominion’s filing, suggesting network decisions are driven by money rather than politics. Dominion citied Murdoch's statements in opposition to Fox News’ and Fox Corp.'s summary judgment motions. That is, Fox wants Dominion’s suit tossed out before the trial that's set for April.
Though the ultimate outcome of the case that’s proceeding in Delaware state court remains uncertain, this latest filing is filled with evidence that Fox should fear a jury seeing at a trial — if the case gets that far.Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer.
