Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch agreed in a deposition that he gave Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner a preview in 2020 of a Joe Biden campaign ad, the latest sign of unusually close ties between the network and the former ...

Murdoch, questioned under oath in a voting-machine company’s $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News and its parent, initially denied providing the preview until he was shown an email in which he told Kushner he “will send it,” according to excerpts of his deposition made public late Tuesday.

The exchange was included by Dominion in hundreds of pages of evidence as the company seeks a court ruling granting it total victory on its defamation claims without a trial. Dominion, which was falsely accused on-air of rigging the election against Trump, argues its reputation was seriously damaged by the conspiracy theory and that Fox knew it was bogus but aired it anyway.

“I’m sure,” Murdoch responded. “Look, I just want to say this: That was advice from a friend to a friend. It wasn’t advice from Fox Corporation or in my capacity at Fox.”“No,” Murdoch said. “I only remember myself being horrified at Mr. Trump’s behavior in the first debate.” Fox also filed what it described as evidence that commentator Maria Bartiromo — who hosted a TV appearance by former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, one of the architects of the conspiracy theory — pushed back on statements made by her guest and repeatedly advised viewers that the claims would need to be proved in court. Bartiromo unsuccessfully tried to have Dominion’s chief executive officer on her show to give the company’s side of the story, according to Fox.
