Dominion says that many of the unearthed messages between Fox News producers and on-air stars like Carlson revealed how little they believed what they were saying. Trump's Sunday night claim that Carlson doesn't hate him after all came in reaction to Carlson's portrayal of 41,000 hours of security footage from the Capitol riot, granted to him exclusively by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
