Fox News, Lou Dobbs Reach Settlement In Defamation Lawsuit

A Cuban businessman filed a defamation complaint against Fox News Network and former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs for broadcasting and associated social media activity involving him and election software providers during the 2020 presidential election.

Majed Khalil filed a lawsuit in New York federal court in 2021 against the Fox Corporation, Fox News Network LLC, Lou Dobbs, and lawyer Sidney Powell.

Law and Crime took notice of the complaint, which claimed that Khalil and three other defendants conspired with Dominion and Smartmatic to” rig” or” fix” President Joe Biden’s’s election results during a broadcast and related Twitter posts on December 10, 2020.

His 26-page mind and purchase states that” Defendants repeatedly maintained their boasts about Khalil lengthy after Powell’s’s election fraud ideas were challenged.” ” Defendants had cause to question Powell’s’s authenticity and the precision of her stories because of several reports that claimed the claims against Dominion and Smartmatic were false and rejected Powell as an reliable source of information.” Although the lawsuit makes no mention of the Khalil personally informing the Defendants that the allegations against him were untrue, Smartmatic and Dominion did. Falsehood of the cases against both businesses would compel the plaintiff’s’s claims to be false as well. There was no indication of election fraud, according to a number of government entities, and even then, President Trump supporters rejected Powell’s’s complaints.

According to a letter written by Fox attorney K. Winn Allen to Stanton on Saturday and co-signed by Khalil lawyer Sigmund S. Wissner-Gross, the parties plan to file an early next week combined requirement of dismissal with prejudice.

According to Allen,” The events are glad to jointly notify the Court that they have reached a private agreement to resolve this matter.”

While a jury last drop denied the news channel and Dobbs’ attempts on First Amendment grounds, claiming that they engaged in fair and balanced reporting, the claims against Powell were dismissed.

Dobbs wrote in a tweet on December 10 that the 2020 election was” a virtual Pearl Harbor: The leftwing constitution has aligned their troops to destroy the United States authorities.”

The 2020 presidential poll is a virtual version of Pearl Harbor:

The left-wing establishment has united its forces to overthrow the US government, according to # MAGA # AmericaFirst # Dobbspic. twitter.com / v1hOAPMqGY

Dobbs’ reveal on Fox was canceled in February 2021.

Dominion Voting Systems has filed a$ 1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox over related allegations related to the 2020 presidential election.

Fox News’ attempt to have the election software company’s’s cause dismissed on Friday was denied by Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis. The case will now go to trial in April.

In his decision, which was reported by NBC, Davis wrote,” The evidence developed in this civil proceedings demonstrates that it is CRYSTAL clear that none of the Claims relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are fair.”

Davis disagreed, claiming that the statements were either factual or mingled judgment and that Network officials had argued that they were protected by the Constitution.

Fox News claimed that the disputed remarks were protected attitudes. Davis continued to disagree, claiming that the claims” were worthy of being proven legitimate” and that” the evidence that would prove the claims was frequently discussed but never presented.”

Fox’s’s claims about Dominion are untrue, according to a spokeswoman for the company, who also expressed their satisfaction with the Supreme Court ruling that good rejects all of their claims and defenses. ” We are excited to go to court.”

The way involves the First Amendment privileges of the media’s’s unalienable right to protect the information, according to a Fox News representative who spoke with NBC.

As we move into the next stage of these proceedings,” FOX will continue to vehemently advocate for the rights of free speech and a free press ,” the spokesperson declared.
