Manhattan Supreme Court Justice David B. Cohen rejected Fox Corp. and Fox News’ attempts to subpoena George Soros, his son Alex Soros, and their philanthropic organization Open Society Foundation (OSF) for documents related to the election defamation case.
Fox argued that Alex and George Soros, as well as OSF, possess material necessary to the network’s defense in the defamation trial.
The documentation, Fox argued, would establish a connection between George Soros and Smartmatic.
“I base that on the finding that the crux of Smartmatic’s claims is that Fox has asserted they were part of rigging [the election], not that Smartmatic was affiliated with George Soros, Alex Soros, or the OSF,” Cohen said.
“We’re interested in the closeness of the relationship, what Soros has done for Smartmatic over time,” Marks said.
