JUST IN: Fox News and Dominion Settle Election Defamation Lawsuit, Judge Says

Superior Court Judge Eric Davis called into the courtroom the jury and 12 alternate jurors shortly before 4 p.m. ET. to announce that they would not have to hear any testimony or review any evidence."Without you, the parties would not have been able to resolve their situation … although it's short, not the six weeks you've expected, you have done your duty," the judge said.

"We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," Fox News Media said."This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.

The planned witnesses in the case had included Tucker Carlson, Mariia Bartiromo, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Jeanine Pirro. Also slated to testify was Lou Dobbs, who had his Fox Business show canceled in 2021.
