Ever since he was fired from Fox News, Tucker Carlson has been trying to escape from the network's grip.
Carlson has a potential ace up his sleeve: becoming a friendly witness for Smartmatic in its pending $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox News.
Fox fired Carlson just days after it agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems.
The judge previously ordered Fox to give Smartmatic all the discovery evidence in the Dominion lawsuit, handing Smartmatic a powerful weapon already.
Fox News has contended that its actions are protected by the First Amendment and called Smartmatic's lawsuit an assault on free speech.
