Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch is set to be deposed early next week by lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems as part of the company’s defamation lawsuit against the cable news giant.

Murdoch, the eldest son of Fox News owner and founder Rupert Murdoch, is scheduled to face questions from Dominion’s lawyers on Monday in Los Angeles, according to multiple reports, and will be the highest-ranking official at Fox to be deposed by Dominion.

 

 

A number of top Fox News personalities including Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have also faced questions from Dominion’s lawyers this year in connection with the lawsuit, which was filed early in 2021 and seeks more than $1 billion in damages.

I sure hope the Murdochs get hammered with an Alex Jones type verdict for the damage they did to that company and democracy there in general

This monolith of corrupt self interest has almost single handedly destroyed the planet and is making every effort to finish the job. It's only about profits for them.

This is very likely a related matter ????

 

Donald Trump’s two top White House lawyers appeared before at least one grand jury Friday, visiting the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., amid multiple criminal probes involving the former president.

 

Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone exited the courthouse just before 2:30 p.m., spending about six hours behind closed doors. His former deputy, Pat Philbin, appeared just before noon and remained inside the grand jury room as of 2:30 p.m.

Fox News future in question as Rupert Murdoch heads to court

 

According to a report from the Guardian, the future of Fox News hangs in the balance with media mogul Rupert Murdoch expected to be deposed on Tuesday as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

 

The report from the Guardian's Chris McGreal notes that lawyers for Dominion have worked their way up the corporate "tree" to Murdoch who will be put on the spot for allowing on-air personalities to spread election conspiracy rumors on the air about the 2020 presidential election.

 

But legal experts say that Dominion, which supplied voting machines to 28 states, appears to be building a wider case that Fox News has a long history of misinformation and steamrolling facts that do not fit its editorial line."
