BREAKING: Dominion Voting Systems and Fox lawyers reach a settlement before trial begins.
Link copiedWILMINGTON, Del. — Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement agreement Tuesday afternoon, narrowly heading off a trial shortly after the jury was seated.
The deal ends a monthslong legal battle over whether the media company had defamed the voting machine maker when they broadcast election conspiracy theories in 2020.Lawyers and media sat waiting in the courtroom for more than two hours after opening statements were scheduled to begin on Tuesday afternoon. Davis reentered the courtroom just before 4 p.m. to announce the settlement with the lead attorneys on the case rushing in after him.
Late Sunday, the court delayed the conclusion of jury selection and opening arguments to Tuesday morning, leading to speculation that settlement talks could be taking place behind closed doors. On Tuesday, Davis also appointed a special master to investigate whether Fox had adequately complied with court-ordered discovery.
