UPDATE, 6:25 AM: Speculation was still rampant that settlement talks are ongoing in Dominion’s big bucks’ lawsuit against Fox News over false 2020 election claims, but a Delaware judge this morning had nothing new to say publicly about the now postponed high-profile trial that was to start Monday.
Short and perhaps not too sweet, today’s highly anticipated hearing began with Judge Eric M Davis reiterating his statement from last night that the start of the $1.6 billion trial would be pushed back a day until April 18. “I have made the decision to delay the start of the trial until tomorrow,” the Delaware judge told a packed Wilmington courtroom and media overflow room, after a brief morning sidebar with attorneys.
Jury Selection Begins In Dominion-Fox News Defamation Trial
With drama right out of HBO’s Succession and the never-ending real-life saga of Rupert Murdoch, expectations had reached almost fever pitch that some sort of 11th hour agreement to keep the media mogul from testifying and more potential Fox News dirty laundry being aired was forthcoming. And it still might be, but not in court today.
“We will stand in recess until tomorrow at 9 AM,” Judge Davis added Monday, bringing the brief hearing to an anti-climatic close. Unless something changes in the next 24 hours, jury selection will start Tuesday, followed by opening arguments in the late morning for what is scheduled as an approximately six-week trial.
