Dominion Voting Systems wins the right to review personal communications of Newsmax Media journalists in a defamation lawsuit.
Newsmax faces a setback as the court rules in favor of Dominion, who sued for $1.6 billion over claims of defamation and election rigging.
“The Dominion suit [against Fox News] showed us exactly how significant those kinds of opportunity for discovery can be,” University of Utah College of Law professor RonNell Andersen Jones said.
Dominion “will be combing the records to try and find what we might call state of mind evidence,” she said.
“They will be looking for exchanges that suggest that they had knowledge of the falsity of the claims that they were permitting people to make on air, or a high degree of awareness of the probable falsity.”
The trial is set for September 2024.
The judge’s decision could provide crucial evidence for the case, similar to a previous case involving Fox News and Dominion.
