Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems with false 2020 election claims, judge rules

The pro-Trump channel Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems by falsely accusing the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday.
The pro-Trump channel Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems by falsely accusing the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday. But it’ll be up to a jury to decide whether Newsmax intentionally smeared Dominion and must pay millions of dollars in damages. Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis handed down several key pretrial rulings in Dominion’s favor, weeks before a jury trial that is scheduled to begin on April 28. An out-of-court settlement is always possible. That’s how Dominion’s similar lawsuit against Fox News ended in 2023, with a record-breaking $787 million agreement. As he did in the Fox News case, Davis ruled that all of the allegations that Dominion committed massive electoral fraud in 2020 were false. He also concluded that these allegations weren’t presented on Newsmax as matters of “pure opinion” from hosts or guests, which would’ve given them more protections under the First Amendment. “We are gratified by the Court’s thorough ruling,” a Dominion spokesperson said.
