A Delaware judge handed Dominion a major victory in its defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
The judge concluded Fox News made false statements and said the case will go to trial on a narrow set of issues.
At the same time, the judge denied legal claims made by Fox News and its parent company.
A Delaware judge has granted Dominion Voting Systems a partial win in its mammoth defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
In a ruling Friday, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric J. Davis concluded the right-wing media organization made false statements about the election technology company related to the 2020 presidential contest. Davis said the case would go to a jury trial, scheduled for April 17.
"The evidence developed in this civil proceeding demonstrates that is CRYSTAL clear that none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true," Davis wrote.
In the same ruling, Davis denied all the claims from Fox News and Fox Corporation, which argued that Dominion failed to prove they should be held liable for the falsehoods. He wrote that Fox News did not conduct "good-faith, disinterested reporting" about Dominion.
"We are gratified by the Court's thorough ruling soundly rejecting all of Fox's arguments and defenses, and finding as a matter of law that their statements about Dominion are false. We look forward to going to trial," a Dominion spokesperson told Insider.
