Judge Rules Case Against Fox News Will Mover Forward

A judge has ruled out Fox News’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought against the network by Dominion Voting System.

Judge Eric Davis of the Delaware Superior Court declined to dismiss Dominion Voting System's lawsuit against Fox News on Thursday.

At this stage, the court must assume Dominion's claims about Fox News are true, Davis said in his ruling.

Fox News released a statement, “As we have maintained, FOX News, along with every single news organization across the country, vigorously covered the breaking news surrounding the unprecedented 2020 election, providing full context of every story with in-depth reporting and clear-cut analysis. We remain committed to defending against this baseless lawsuit and its all-out assault on the First Amendment.”

The judges ruling not to dismiss the lawsuit now means that Dominion will likely get access to communications that happened within Fox News and the company may be able to interview the network's top names under oath.
