Dominion Voting Systems is putting Fox News star “Judge Jeanine” Pirro back on the legal hot seat in its clash with the network in a $1.6 billion defamation suit over baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 elections, NPR has learned.
In documents filed Thursday in a Delaware courthouse, the voting tech company explicitly identified Pirro, a former Westchester County district attorney and New York state judge, as central to its case.
Its filings argue that by questioning Pirro, Dominion can meet the key legal threshold of proving Fox showed “actual malice” when it broadcast false claims the firm sought to throw the race to Joe Biden over then-President Donald Trump.
Law & Crime reports:
Dominion claims that they obtained evidence exposing Pirro’s key role in the case through discovery, the evidence-sharing phase of proceedings that began months ago. The company claims that Fox News finally produced some of it at the eleventh hour before Pirro was scheduled to take the hot seat.
“Thirteen hours before her deposition, and several months since first requesting her deposition, Fox News produced several texts from Ms. Pirro,” the partially sealed public version of the filing states, followed by multiple lines of redactions.
Obtained by Law&Crime, the filing indicates that Pirro took her deposition on Aug. 23, but Dominion wants another chance to question her about recently obtained discovery.
