In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives – including CEO Antonio Mugica – of “spoliation of records” related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election.
The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims.
“On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. – who has since been federally indicted for those crimes – to delete WhatsApp mobile messages discussing critical damages issues surrounding the outlandish $2.7 billion the company planned to seek from Fox,” the filing states.
Just days earlier, Fox alleges, “a top Smartmatic executive, again in writing, directed his subordinates to doctor key customer records to manufacture support for the massive damages case Smartmatic had invented.”
The legal salvo also claims Smartmatic employees went on a mass deletion spree.
“[W]hile they should have been retaining documents, key Smartmatic employees deleted their mobile messages, depriving Fox of yet more evidence undermining Smartmatic’s unsupported damages claim,” the document says.

They know all the accusations are true and they are facing a REAL investigation. And what do the cheaters do....
They should consult the same database containing Hillary's 30,000 emails at the NSA. I just don't get why Trump doesn't do it. One would think Patel or even Bongino could simply order it.
Must be missing something.
I have a feeling the 2020 election debacle is going to get a LOT of press in the next 18 months.👍
A legal hold is a legal hold.
Fox settled this months ago, I’m surprised it’s being brought back up.
Keep in mind that Smartmatic and Dominion aren’t the only manufacturers of these things.
And that they aren’t just used in the US.
Electronic voting machines and tabulators have got to go.
I fully believe this happened. Proving it is the issue.
Carry_Okie, it’s all about optics and timing, I think.
It really doesn’t matter what DJT and his folks do, the dhimmicraps will ALWAYS and EVERY TIME toss out the ‘political retaliation’ biscuit for their groveling minions in the lame-stream media.
As soon as the time is ripe, this team will strike.
Smartmatic is a proven specialist with voting machines. They proved that with the Venezuelan elections, Brazilian elections and American elections, appears with Soros’ backing, results based on the bucks. Wonder if the dems have to bid on the cost of the results, maybe its a fixed schedule.

That strategy gives the Slave Party opportunity to stage a massive and destructive diversion that harms our abilities, both in terms of public distraction, conservative defeatism, and because they can do more damage when not occupied by a defense or being stuck in jail. We sure as hell don't need more evidence.
As Patton said, "L'audace, tousjours l'audace."
Hence, I have my doubts the Trump Administration will do anything, as the record of his last term reinforces. One wonders about The Pied Piper.
