Wilmington, Delaware | Attorneys defending Fox in a defamation case related to false claims about the 2020 election withheld critical information about the role company founder Rupert Murdoch played at Fox News, a revelation that angered the judge when it came up at a Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) hearing.
It was not clear whether the development would affect a trial scheduled to begin on Thursday (Friday AEST) with jury selection. Dominion Voting Systems is suing Fox for $US1.6 billion ($2.4 billion), saying it damaged its reputation by repeatedly airing false claims that the company helped orchestrate a fraud that cost former President Donald Trump re-election.
