Dominion Wins Defamation Suit Against Newsmax

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Right-wing cable channel Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems by falsely reporting that the company was involved in rigging the 2020 presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday.

Damages will be decided by a jury in a trial that will begin April 28 unless a settlement is reached. Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion. The ruling from Judge Eric B. Davis comes the week after Boca Raton, Fla.-based Newsmax began trading as a public company.

Newsmax was among the channels presenting false claims by President Trump’s allies and supporters that Dominion, a provider of vote-counting machines and software, was created in Venezuela to rig elections for the late leader Hugo Chavez and that it has the ability to switch votes.
