OAN Settles Defamation Suit Brought By Smartmatic

Deadline reports:

Smartmatic has reached a settlement with One America News Network over claims that the news outlet amplified false claims that the voting systems company rigged the results of the 2020 election.

“Smartmatic has resolved its litigation against OANN through a confidential settlement,” said attorney Eric Connolly, who is representing the voting company in the lawsuit.

An attorney for OANN, Chip Babcock, did not immediately return a request for comment. The terms were not disclosed. Smartmatic still has lawsuits pending against Newsmax and Fox News.
