Fox Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch has admitted that some Fox News commentators endorsed false claims made by Donald Trump and his allies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen - and that he didn't try to stop them.
The claims are from a deposition unsealed on Monday, which is part of a lawsuit against the cable news giant by Dominion Voting Systems.
Denver-based Dominion sells electronic voting hardware and software and is suing Fox News Network and its parent company Fox Corp for defamation.
Dominion says that some Fox News employees deliberately amplified false claims made by Mr Trump and his allies that the company's machines had changed votes in the election and that Fox gave them a platform to do this.
The company's lawyers say Fox executives knew the network was airing "lies", and that they had the power to stop it but did not.
In one deposition excerpt, Mr Murdoch is asked whether he knew some of the network's commentators, including Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro, were endorsing the false claims.
He replied: "Yes, they endorsed."
