Fox News host Laura Ingraham said this week she has not seen any evidence of election fraud, even as one of Donald Trump's allies continued to tout false claims about the 2020 presidential election.
John Eastman — a lawyer, legal commentator and former academic who provided advice to Trump while he was in office — said in a Tuesday interview he “had lots of evidence of fraud.”
“I haven’t seen that evidence, and I’m always wanting to see everything,” Ingraham responded. “I’d love to see that evidence.”
Ingraham's pushback of the claims come months after Fox News settled a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought against the network by voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, which was the subject of conspiracies of widespread election fraud and other wrongdoing in the wake of the November 2020 presidential election. The reported $787.5 million settlement with Dominion took place in April.
Dominion had argued that some of the people spreading the lies about election fraud — including Fox News personalities — privately acknowledged they did not believe the conspiracy theories, but still amplified them on-air, allegedly in order to get ratings.
That Eastman continues to allege election fraud is also significant, considering he is a central figure in the investigations into the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riots and other attempts to overturn the election.
