Trial Judge: Dominion Can Force Murdoch To Testify

CBNC reports:

A Delaware judge said Wednesday that he would compel Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, and his son, CEO Lachlan Murdoch, to appear live in court for the upcoming trial in Dominion Voting System’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox and its networks. Earlier on Wednesday Dominion in a letter filed to the court urged Judge Eric Davis, who is presiding over the case, to compel both Murdochs to appear live.

“Fox and Dominion have made these four parties very relevant,” Davis said during a hearing on Wednesday. “It’s not the corporation that raises its hand on the stand, it’s their officers and directors that raise their hand on the stand.” “So if Dominion wants to bring them in live, they need to do a trial subpoena and I would not quash it. I would compel them to come,” Davis added on Wednesday.

“Dominion’s attorneys asked the court to compel live testimony from the Murdochs, former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who sits on the board of Fox Corp., and Viet Dinh, a Fox Corp. executive. All four can be compelled to testify, the judge said.”https://t.co/OjXmxuBVei
