WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — It’s start of questioning for potential jurors in the defamation trial involving Fox News. In the case being tried in Delaware, Dominion Voting Systems is seeking to hold Fox responsible for repeatedly airing false claims related to the 2020 presidential election. With jury selection closed to the media and public, Superior Court Judge Eric Davis announced by Thursday afternoon (April 13, 2023) that the interview process had produced a large enough pool from which to choose 12 jurors and 12 alternates. The seating of jurors will begin Monday morning, followed by opening statements from lawyers. Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit alleges Fox damaged Dominion by repeatedly airing false allegations about Dominion’s machines and the software they used.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News stars Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Bret Baier are among the personalities who could soon be appearing in a much different venue — court. Both Fox and the voting machine company suing it for defamation have included each of those figures as potential witnesses if the case goes to trial next month (April 2023). The lists are no guarantee they will testify, and it’s still not certain the case will make it to trial. Fox has sought to prevent its 92-year-old patriarch, Rupert Murdoch, from testifying live, saying he already has given a lengthy deposition. But that will be up to Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis.
