多米宁投票系统在16亿美元的诽谤诉讼中指控福克斯新闻频道故意推错误的阴谋论认为投票机公司操纵2020年总统选举对乔·拜登有利的是，Dominion声称这是为了消除对收视率下降和观众保留率的担忧。福克斯为其报道辩护驳回了诉讼，称其为“寻求暴利的政治运动”
Dominion首席执行官说，福克斯已经承认说谎
“福克斯已经承认在自治领问题上撒了谎，”多米宁投票系统首席执行官约翰·普洛斯在法庭外宣布和解后说道。目前还不清楚这一承认是在哪里发生的，除了福克斯的声明“我们承认法院的裁决发现某些关于主权的主张是错误的”——或者福克斯新闻频道是否同意以公开的方式进行更正式的承认。
在新闻发布会结束时，Dominion的另一名律师Davinda Brook可能会取笑未来可能的行动，她告诉记者，“谢谢你……帮助揭露我们在这个过程中能够发现的东西。”

Dominion-Fox News updates: Settlement reached for $787.5 million
Dominion Voting Systems, in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit, accused Fox News ofknowingly pushingfalse conspiracy theories that the voting machine companyrigged the 2020 presidential electionin Joe Biden's favor, in what Dominion claims was an effort to combat concerns over declining ratings and viewer retention. Foxdefended its coverage, dismissing the suit as a "political crusade in search of a financial windfall."
Fox has 'admitted telling lies,' says Dominion CEO
"Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion," Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos said outside the courthouse following the announcement of a settlement. It was not immediately clear where this admission took place, beyond Fox's statement that "We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false" -- or whether Fox News had agreed to a more formal acknowledgement in a public way.
And at the end of the press conference, Davinda Brook, another lawyer for Dominion, might have teased potential future actions when she told reporters, "Thank you … to help expose what we were able to discover over the course of this process."
"Thank you, and we'll see you at the next one," she said.
Fox to pay $787.5 million in settlement
"Truth matters. Lies have consequences," said Justin Nelson, an attorney for Dominion Voting Systems, as he announced details of the company's settlement with Fox News during a press conference following the court's adjournment.
"Today's settlement of $787,500,000 represents vindication and accountability," Nelson said. "Today represents a ringing endorsement for truth and for democracy."
Dominion had sued Fox for $1.6 billion.
The CEO of Dominion, John Poulos, called it an "historic settlement."
"Throughout this process, we have sought accountability," Poulos said. "Truthful reporting in the media is essential to democracy."
Fox News 'pleased' with settlement
"We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems," Fox News officials said in a statement after an agreement had been reached. "We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOX's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards."
"We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues," the statement said.
Settlement reached between Dominion, Fox News
A settlement has been reached in Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against Fox News, Judge Eric Davis has announced in the courtroom.
"The parties have resolved their case," the judge said.
"We wish to express our deepest appreciation" to the court, a Dominion attorney told the judge.
Davis commended both teams, saying, "I've been on the bench since 2010 ... and I think this is the best lawyering I've had, ever."
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed before court was adjourned.
A press conference was expected to follow.
