The request by Dominion Voting Systems came a day after its attorneys told the judge that Fox attorneys had withheld critical information about the role company founder Rupert Murdoch, who is chairman of Fox. Fox Corp. had asserted since Colorado-based Dominion filed its lawsuit in 2021 that Rupert Murdoch had no official role at Fox News. My son is the chief executive of everything at Fox,” Murdoch initially replied, referring to his son, Lachlan Murdoch, who is executive chairman of Fox Corp. Fox attorneys have said Murdoch's title at Fox News was “honorific,” and that he has had no role in day-to-day management of Fox News. “What do I do with attorneys that aren’t straightforward with me?” he said, suggesting that the conduct of Fox attorneys could result in unspecified sanctions.
