Fox News Sued for $1.6 Billion over False Claims About Electronic Voting
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is set to be deposed today in a lawsuit
brought by the voting machine company at the center of Republicans'
false claims about a stolen 2020 election. Dominion Voting Systems is
seeking $1.6 billion from Fox News, alleging the network's hosts defamed
the company by repeatedly promoting baseless conspiracy theories that
its voting machines were used to steal votes from Donald Trump. Other
prominent Fox News hosts facing depositions include Sean Hannity, Lou
Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro and Steve Doocy.
