New Smartmatic Filing Reveals Fox News Staffers Admitted Election Claims Were 'So F***ing Cray' and 'MINDBLOWINGLY NUTS'
In the wake of Dominion Voting System’s stunning $787.5 million settlement in its defamation lawsuit against Fox News, all eyes turned to Smartmatic, another voting technology company that had filed its own lawsuit making similar claims that Fox News had made false and defamatory accusations that Smartmatic had engaged in fraud during the 2020 election.
This week, the Smartmatic litigation revealed another similarity with the Dominion case: discovery that has unveiled blunt and shocking admissions by Fox employees that they knew the election fraud claims made by President Donald Trump and his attorneys, surrogates, and other key supporters were false — along with a multitude of synonyms for crazy.
Both sides have filed motions for summary judgment, seeking to convince the judge that the other side’s case is too flawed and should be thrown out ahead of trial. The dueling motions have significant redactions, mostly done at Fox’s insistence and over Smartmatic’s objection. In a press release, Smartmatic addressed the arguments it was making in its latest pleadings and addressed the issue of redacted information in the parties’ motions:
Fox’s motion attacks Smartmatic by accusing the company of building its complaint on “a myth” by seeking a “windfall” from “allegations that mostly concerned Dominion Voting Systems” and “negative public sentiment about the 2020 elections,” and claiming that Smartmatic was “a failing company that had not turned a meaningful profit in many years and had no real business prospects.”
