Newsmax avoids the trial with 67 million dollars in the electoral complaints of false 2020

The regulation comes after Fox News Channel paid $ 787.5 million to set a similar trial in 2023 and Newsmax paid what judicial documents describe as 40 million dollars to set a defamation trial of another manufacturer of voting machines, Smartmatic, which was also the target of the theories of PRO-TRUMP on the network.

The judge of the Superior Court of Delaware, Eric Davis, had judged earlier that Newsmax had indeed disseminated the Dominion voting systems based in Denver by disseminating false information on the company and its equipment. But Davis left a jury to finally decide if it was done with maliciousness and, in the affirmative, how many Dominion deserved newsmax in damages. Newsmax and Dominion reached the regulations before the trial could take place.

The regulations were disclosed by Newsmax in a new file to the American Commission for Securities and Exchange. He said the agreement was concluded on Friday.

“Newsmax thought it was extremely important that the American people intend the two parties of the electoral disputes that occurred in 2020,” the company said in a statement. “We support our coverage as just, balanced and made in the professional standards of journalism.”

A spokesperson for Dominion said the company was happy to have settled the trial.

The disclosure of the colony came while Trump, who lost his candidacy for the re -election of 2020 to the Democrat Joe Biden, swore in a social media position on Monday to eliminate postal ballots and voting machines such as those provided by Dominion and other companies. We did not know how the Republican President could get there.

The same judge also dealt with the Dominion-Fox News case and made a similar decision that the network repeated many Trump’s allies of his defeat in 2020 despite internal communications showing that Fox officials knew that the affirmations were false. At the time, Davis found that it was “clear” that none of the allegations was true.

The internal correspondence of Newsmax officials also shows that they knew that the assertions were baseless.

“How long are we going to play with electoral fraud?” Newsmax host Bob Sellers said that two days after the 2020 elections were called to Biden, according to internal documents revealed in the case.

Newsmax was proud not to call the elections to Biden and, according to internal documents, saw a commercial opportunity to respond to viewers who thought Trump had won. Private communications that surfaced as part of the Dominion previous defamation file against Fox News also revealed how the trade interests of the network met the decisions it has taken linked to the coverage of Trump’s electoral complaints in 2020.

In Newsmax, employees have on several occasions against the false allegations of pro-Trump guests such as lawyer Sidney Powell, according to documents from the trial. In a text, even the owner of Newsmax, Chris Ruddy, an ally of Trump, said that he had found “scary” that Trump meets Powell.

Dominion was at the heart of many wild claims broadcast by guests on Newsmax and elsewhere, who promoted a conspiracy theory involving the Venezuelan president who died Hugo Chavez to fake Biden machines. The network retracted some of the most explosive allegations in December 2020.

Although Trump insisted that his fraud allegations are real, there is no evidence that they were, and the prosecution in the Fox and Newsmax cases show how some of the greatest supporters of the President knew that they were false at the time. William Barr William Barr William Barr said there was no proof of general fraud.

Trump and his donors have lost dozens of proceedings alleging fraud, some before judges appointed by Trump. Numerous recounts, criticisms and audits of the results of the elections, some of which managed by the Republicans, have not revealed any sign of reprehensible acts or significant errors and affirmed the victory of Biden.

After his return to duties, Trump pardoned those who tried to stop the transfer of power during January 6, 2021, attacking the American Capitol and ordered from his Ministry of Justice to investigate Chris Krebs, a former appointed by cybersecurity Trump who had garnished the security and precision of the 2020 elections.

With the approach of a first test date in the Dominion affair earlier this year, Trump published an executive decree attacking the law firm who pleaded him and the Fox affair, Susman Godfrey. The order, which is part of a series targeting law firms, Trump fought, quoted the work of Susman Godfrey on the elections and said that the government would not deal with any of its customers or would not allow any of its employees in federal buildings.

A federal judge suspended this action, saying that the editors would consider it “a shocking abuse of power”.
