The suit by Dominion, which sells voting machines and election software, had argued that Fox News and its sister network Fox Business "intentionally and falsely" blamed Dominion for the 2020 loss of former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden by airing unsubstantiated claims about the company. Fox had said in court filings that its hosts' statements about Dominion were protected by the First Amendment. The company also said Dominion had not shown that the statements were made with so-called actual malice, which is the threshold for civil defamation claims.
Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion civil defamation lawsuit against Fox News has been delayed on the eve of its scheduled start date, an official for the court hearing the case said Sunday. Spokespeople for Fox and Dominion did not immediately provide statements when asked for comment after the delay was announced Sunday night. Fox has argued that Dominion has not met the legal standard for defamation, and that the statements made about Dominion on its air were protected by the First Amendment. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Sunday evening that Fox has made a last-minute push to settle the lawsuit out of court. But as recently as Saturday, the possibility of Dominion and Fox avoiding trial seemed as unlikely as ever.
