A Delaware state judge ruled this week that Dominion Voting Systems‘ defamation lawsuit against Fox News’ parent company, Fox Corporation, can proceed, rejecting a request to dismiss the lawsuit.
The ruling comes less than a week after a separate defamation lawsuit against Newsmax was also given the green light.
“The Court finds that Dominion has adequately pleaded facts supporting a reasonable inference that Fox Corporation proximately caused Dominion’s alleged injury. The allegations supporting proximate causation overlap with those supporting direct liability,” wrote Judge Eric M. Davis in his 25-page opinion issued Tuesday.
