A judge said Fox News had a “credibility problem” as it prepares for a $US1.6 billion (2.4 billion) defamation trial after the company disclosed for the first time in nearly two years of litigation that Rupert Murdoch was an officer of the company.

Credit:Dominion Voting Systems alleges Fox damaged its business by Fox knowingly and repeatedly airing false claims that Dominion machines were used to flip the 2020 US presidential election against former president Donald Trump, a Republican, and in favour of Democrat Joe Biden, who won.

Fox News had disclaimed that Murdoch was a company officer, which shaped how Dominion litigated the case, according to Nelson. As a Fox News officer, Murdoch would likely have been subject to more probing discovery by Dominion. “It is very troubling, but this is where we are,” Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson said, adding that Dominion only learnt of Murdoch’s role on Sunday and got its first document with Murdoch’s title of Fox News executive chairman on Tuesday morning.A Fox lawyer told the hearing in Wilmington, Delaware, that Murdoch disclosed the title in a February deposition, and he called the title “honorific”.

Dominion’s Nelson said at Tuesday’s hearing that the company was still trying to determine what action if any it would ask of the judge for the delayed disclosure.
