Lawyers for Fox News are met with skepticism when they argue that Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch should be excused from testifying in court as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the company.
At a hearing in Delaware Superior Court, Judge Eric Davis said he’d received a letter from Fox saying it would be an “inconvenience” for Murdoch, 92, to provide testimony in the courtroom.
“We are not arguing he’s infirm or incapable of travel,” Carter said. “Our view is in light of his seven hour deposition, we thought it’s not necessary for him to travel” to testify live. Dominion is suing Fox News and Fox Corp., arguing it was severely damaged by claims put forward by Fox hosts and guests suggesting the voting machine company “rigged” the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden.
Dominion contends Murdoch had the power to rein in the hosts but did not. In their court filings, Fox noted that Murdoch testified he was overseas for much of the time period covered in the lawsuit, and that he never discussed Dominion with any of the network’s hosts.
