A last-second settlement was reached in the historic defamation case between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems, the parties announced Tuesday in court.
"The parties have resolved their case," Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said.
"Your presence here... was extremely important. And without you, the parties would not have been able to resolve their situation," the judge told the jurors, before dismissing them.
The settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems totals $787.5 million, according to Dominion attorney Justin Nelson.
The settlement represents "vindication and accountability," Nelson said in a press conference Tuesday afternoon.
"We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems," Fox News said in a statement. "We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOX's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues."
"Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees, and the customers that we serve," John Poulos, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. "Nothing can ever make up for that."
