A judge in Delaware ruled this week that cable news channel Newsmax aired false and defamatory statements about Dominion Voting Systems as part of its coverage of the 2020 election. Delaware

In his ruling, Judge Davis said that Dominion presented “clear and convincing evidence” that the statements from Newsmax were false and that they would “likely cause reasonable viewers to think significantly less favorably about Dominion than if the viewers knew the truth.”

Newsmax Media published defamatory and false statements accusing Dominion Voting Systems of rigging the 2020 election, a Delaware judge ruled Wednesday, though a jury must still decide whether the conservative news outlet is on the hook for damages.
