Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis on Wednesday also refused a request from the legal team to hold separate trials for Fox News and the network’s parent company, Fox Corporation. “What do I do with attorneys that aren’t straightforward with me?” Davis asked the court, as he suggested sanctions for the Fox team. When Dominion Voting Systems filed its lawsuit in 2021, lawyers for Fox News asserted Murdoch had no official role at the conservative-leaning channel. But on Sunday, the Fox legal team reversed course, disclosing to Dominion lawyers that Murdoch was indeed “executive chair” at Fox News. He did, however, open the possibility for the Dominion legal team to redo or request additional depositions with witnesses.
