A newly released bombshell filing in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News has revealed previously unknown details about Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch’s knowledge of the network’s lies about voter fraud and Dominion after the 2020 election.
According to the filing, Murdoch was closely tied to White House senior adviser Jared Kushner during the 2020 campaign and provided him with confidential previews of the Biden campaign’s political ads and strategies.
The defamation lawsuit has already exposed the inner workings of Fox News, specifically regarding the network’s response to false claims of election fraud from former President Donald Trump’s lawyers.
The filing released on February 16 persuasively argues that Fox News embraced voter fraud conspiracy theories that executives and on-air personalities knew were false at least partly out of fear that viewers would turn to competitor Newsmax, which had gone all-in on the absurd claims.
