Fox News has struck a deal averting a trial in Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit over spurious claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential race.

Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos, third from right, leaves with members of his legal team, including Davida Brook, left, Justin Nelson, third from left and Stephen Shackelford, right, from the Leonard Williams Justice Center in Wilmington, Del., shortly after Dominion reached a $787.5 million settlement with Fox News.

Dominion CEO John Poulos told reporters, “Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees and the customers that we serve. Nothing can ever make up for that. Throughout this process, we have sought accountability,” he said. “Truthful reporting in the media is essential to our democracy.”“We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false,” the statement said.

Dominion Voting Systems alleged that Fox stars, executives, journalists and guests defamed the election tech company for segments in which wild and spurious conspiracies held it had switched votes for then-President Donald Trump to Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott warned her colleagues against running fact-checking segments by the network’s own reporters debunking lies about election fraud, even as it gave such bogus claims acres of prime real estate.
