Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis has ruled that Fox News must face a trial in the $1.6bn defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, which claims that the network broadcast false statements about the company and conspiracy theories surrounding Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election. The judge said that Fox hosts and guests repeatedly made false claims about Dominion machines and their supposed role in a fictitious plot to steal the election from Trump. The trial is expected to begin on April 17.
