Those lies are at the heart of Smartmatic’s massive defamation suit against Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corporation.
The Murdoch family has battled over succession in compete secrecy in a Reno court.
In the Nevada case, Rupert has argued that Lachlan must succeed him in order to maintain his outlet’s right-wing political bent.
Lawyers for Fox previously said in Smartmatic’s election defamation case that they oppose disseminating the records from the family trust fight.
“That litigation is entirely irrelevant to this case,” Fox lawyer Winn Allen told a judge during a hearing last month.
