Delaware judge rules Newsmax coverage of Dominion Voting Systems was false, defamatory
Newsmax Media published defamatory and false statements accusing Dominion Voting Systems of rigging the 2020 election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday, though a jury must still decide whether the conservative news outlet is on the hook for damages.The ruling by Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis is a partial victory for Dominion in its $1.6 billion lawsuit but leaves Newsmax with other possible legal defenses at a trial scheduled to begin on April 28 in Wilmington.
A Dominion representative said in a statement that the company was gratified by the court’s thorough ruling.
A Newsmax representative said in a statement that the outlet covered both sides of the 2020 election fairly and called the case a threat to free speech and the free press.
We should never forget how RWM contributed to the election misinformation that still permeates the beliefs of trump fans. And the damage it has done to confidence in our elections........just what Putin was hoping for.
