After Dominion settlement, Fox News 'ready to defend' against lawsuit from second voting machine company, Smartmatic

NEW YORK — A day after Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle a defamation suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, a Fox spokesperson said Wednesday that the network will be"ready to defend" itself against a similar suit from a second voting machine company.

Fox responded in a statement Wednesday, saying,"We will be ready to defend this case surrounding extremely newsworthy events when it goes to trial, likely in 2025. As a report prepared by our financial expert shows, Smartmatic's damages claims are implausible, disconnected from reality, and on its face intended to chill First Amendment freedoms."

"We've got some other people who have some accountability coming towards them," Stephen Shakelford, Dominion's attorney, said following the Fox News settlement Tuesday."We're not done yet."
