Newsmax Settles Defamation Case With 2020 Election Firm on Eve of Trial
Newsmax settled a major 2020 presidential election defamation lawsuit with Smartmatic hours after jury selection for the civil trial began on Thursday. The terms of the last-minute agreement remain unknown.
“Newsmax is pleased to announce it has resolved the litigation brought by Smartmatic through a confidential settlement,” the cable network said in a statement.
The conservative news company, however, faces a separate election-related defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, in which they deny all wrongdoing.
