The company also contends that #FoxNews & others #Smartmatic has sued for #defamation for statements about the firm’s voting machines are exploiting the criminal case in their defense.
While such defense claims are notoriously difficult to win in court, they have gained traction with federal judges as the #DOJ under #Trump has increasingly used its authority to target the president’s political foes.

Smartmatic Filing Details Ex-Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro’s Desire To Boost Donald Trump In 2020 And Her Efforts To Secure Pardon For Ex-Husband

…The judge in the case, New York Supreme Court Judge David B. Cohen, is likely to issue his ruling on both parties’ motions for summary judgment in the coming months. A trial could begin in early 2026.

The filing also includes newly public comments made by other #Fox hosts….
In a Dec 2020 message w/ #FoxNews host #GregGutfeld, #JesseWatters nodded to the potential upside of aligning w/ those claiming the election was stolen. “Think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL.”But he #testified in a #deposition that he saw “no evidence that #Smartmatic Technology switched votes in the 2020 Election in the United States.”
-
“I believe that there’s been no showing that Smartmatic engaged in any problems,” #JeaninePirro said, acc/to filing, which also cited her as answering “I do” when asked by Smartmatic’s lawyers whether she believed #Biden was “legitimately elected.” (An email sent to a press account for Pirro’s office seeking comment was not returned)
#Fox NEVER corrected its coverage of #Smartmatic or acknowledged particular mistakes, Smartmatic noted. -
…despite some internal concerns about Pirro’s commentary about the election, #FoxNews CEO #SuzanneScott told a network executive “we don’t want to censor” her show, acc/to the filing.
Still, acc/to #Smartmatic, #JeaninePirro acknowledged in a #deposition that the 2020 election WAS NOT STOLEN. She agreed that the election was “fair & free” & that Smartmatic, which provided #election #technology to Los Angeles County, did nothing wrong. -
…#Smartmatic argues in the suit that #JeaninePirro served as a conduit to #Trump associates who said the election was stolen, including the lawyer #SidneyPowell.
“It’s Jeanine P. Got a former CIA chief of station who knows [about] development of Dominion,” she wrote in a Nov. 10, 2020, text message to Powell, referring to another #voting #technology company that some #Fox hosts claimed was involved in a voting fraud scheme. -
#Smartmatic included many of the conversations in 468 pages of filings to bolster its contention that #JeaninePirro & other #Fox hosts were determined to stay on Trump’s good side for a variety of motives. It said Pirro, a longtime friend of #Trump, sought to secure a #pardon for her ex-husband, Albert Pirro. Convicted earlier of #TaxEvasion & #conspiracy, Albert Pirro was the last person Trump pardoned during his first term.
-
#Smartmatic is arguing that hosts & executives at #Fox knew claims that the #voting #technology company had rigged the election in Joe #Biden’s favor were false, but allowed them to air to maintain the network’s support with pro-#Trump viewers.
#FoxNews, which filed its own motion for summary judgment, has denied that it defamed Smartmatic & said its hosts were merely covering, without endorsing, newsworthy claims of election fraud made by #Trump’s associates.
-
#Smartmatic compiled previously unreported text messages & emails between #Fox employees, along with comments made in sworn #depositions, in an effort to persuade the judge in the long-running case to rule in its favor. Smartmatic’s motion was originally filed in late April, but a judicial hearing officer decided only recently that many of the redactions obscuring parts of the original filings should be removed.

The settlement comes after #FoxNews paid $787.5M to settle a similar #defamation lawsuit in 2023 & #Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40M to settle a #libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, #Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump #ConspiracyTheories on the network.
