A Delaware Superior Court judge denied a Fox News motion to dismiss a massive $1.6 billion lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems that alleges the news outlet made false claims about the company’s actions and influence on the 2020 presidential election. In a decision released Thursday afternoon, the court found Fox News’ defenses did not warrant the case being dismissed. The suit even included Fox News and Fox Business anchors, such as Lou Dobbs, who has left the company, and Maria Bartiromo. The 2020 election results were certified by multiple legal processes. “Fox set out to lure viewers back — including President Trump himself — by intentionally and falsely blaming Dominion for President Trump’s loss by rigging the election,” Dominion alleges in its original lawsuit.
