Newsmax Found Guilty of Defaming Dominion in 2020 Election Case | JQJO

A Delaware judge ruled that Newsmax aired false and defamatory claims about Dominion Voting Systems' role in the 2020 election, echoing a similar ruling against Fox News. The judge found Newsmax broadcast inaccurate information that negatively impacted Dominion's reputation. Newsmax, which recently had a successful IPO, maintains it covered the story fairly and denies defamation. The case proceeds to trial, where a jury will determine damages and whether the broadcasts showed "actual malice." This follows a $787.5 million settlement Dominion reached with Fox News. Dominion seeks $1.6 billion in damages.
