Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787.5 million settlement agreement yesterday, both parties announced, narrowly heading off a trial shortly after the jury was sworn in.

Fox News, in a statement, said it acknowledged “the court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.” Lawyers and media sat waiting in the courtroom for more than two hours after opening statements were scheduled to begin on Tuesday afternoon. Davis re-entered the courtroom just before 4 p.m. to announce the settlement with the lead attorneys on the case rushing in after him.

The settlement comes after a bruising week for Fox News. During pretrial conference hearings, Davis sanctioned the network for withholding evidence, and admonished it for not being straightforward with him. He said he would allow Dominion to conduct an additional deposition with Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch at Fox’s expense. Davis also ruled that Fox lawyers could not use newsworthiness as a legal defense, limiting their possible trial strategies.
