Tens of thousands of documents were released as part of Smartmatic’s defamation lawsuit against the network
Fox Corp chief told Sean Hannity that Trump could not go on air in 2020 if he attacked network
Tens of thousands of pages of exhibits were released on Sunday as part of voting technology company Smartmatic’s $2.7bn defamation lawsuit against Fox News over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election.
Fox News has strenuously denied Smartmatic’s claims and said the company has vastly overstated its value. In a statement, Smartmatic said Fox’s “attempts to delay accountability won’t work, and its day of reckoning is coming”.
The documents released as part of the suit featured previously unpublished internal text messages and email exchanges between key players at the network, including Rupert Murdoch, Sean Hannity and Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott.
