A New York judge ruled that Smartmatic can proceed with its defamation lawsuit against Fox Corporation, dealing a blow to the parent company of Fox News. The lawsuit stems from the network's repeated airing of 2020 election lies, despite knowing they were false. The court decision paves the way for Fox to fight back against the $2.7 billion figure requested by Smartmatic, with the right-wing network arguing that the alleged damages are excessive and aimed at chilling free speech rights.
