Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems with false 2020 election claims, judge rules

CNN ^ | 4/9/2025 | Marshall Cohen

[Hetuck]

The judge's ruling enables the case to proceed to a jury trial later this month. Interestingly, it comes just days after NewsMax stock went public on the New York Stock Exchange. Their current market cap is around $2.9B, probably making them a more attractive target to Dominion....

Didn’t the DOJ just announce that there was evidence that the voting machines were hackable and that hacking had taken place?

Judges can’t Read

[E. Pluribus Unum]

An out-of-court settlement is always possible. That’s how Dominion’s similar lawsuit against Fox News ended in 2023, with a record-breaking $787 million agreement.

FOX didn't even fight it because they were in cahoots and the settlement probably got laundered back to them. FOX is not on our side. By settling they helped squash the truth, that 2020 was stolen.

[Hattie]

What’s the judge going to do when proof of Dominion hacking in 2020 is finally exposed?

[know.your.why]

I’m betting this case falls flat and hard and for obvious reasons.

[know.your.why]

Lib dems trying to conceal the obvious and lie exactly like they did with Brandons dementia. The dem party should be outlawed.

[DarthVader]

We need the Oliver Cromwell solution for these judges!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m not surprised that a friggin’ “judgey” would say something like that. They’re all dumber than excrement.

[sit-rep]

I wonder how much more Discovery will be allowed in Discovery this time around??

Delaware judge“

I hope Newsmax goes to the mat on this. I know for a fact the Machines flipped votes to Biden in Michigan and it was proven.

[sit-rep]

yes... but this judge ignored that memo...

[MtnClimber]

This judge defamed Newsmax and this is true, unlike his/her/them claim by the so-called judge.

[Hartlyboy]

Why did a Delaware judge even get to put his two cents in? Did Newsmax make the mistake of incorporating in Delaware?

[mass55th]

With a jury trial comes discovery right?

[sit-rep]

lol... that’s def above my paygrade! seems like these judges all sit on the edge up their seats waiting for an opportunity to jump up and say look at me!! dont have an answer... maybe a freeper with a higher insight can answer that

[flamberge]

I am getting really intolerant of these lawsuit maneuvers by Dominion Systems.

I don't believe their assertions of innocence.

I don't believe their executives are impartial as to which candidates win elections using their systems. Their executives have repeatedly made public statements indicating their preferences.

I do not trust them. The fact that they sue all of their critics does not increase my trust. I don't want them running counts for elections anywhere in this country.

“But it’ll be up to a jury to decide whether Newsmax intentionally smeared Dominion with “actual malice” and must pay millions of dollars in damages.

The judge just ruled they did. How is that legal?

[Ann Archy]

EVIL OR STUPID OR BOTH!!! Dominion VOTING services....DVS........DEVIOUS!.....perfectly named!

[Ann Archy]

THIS POS JUDGE ALSO GAVE DEVIOUS a $1.6 BILLION AGAINST FOX!! HE’S IN DELAWARE.!!!!!! CORRUPT??
