Newsmax, a conservative US television network, has agreed to pay $67 million to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.
Dominion had accused Newsmax of spreading false claims that their voting machines rigged the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump.
This significant settlement concludes a lengthy legal battle, with Newsmax maintaining their coverage was fair despite the court ruling against them.
The case highlights the substantial impact of false election claims and the legal consequences for those who disseminate them.
