A Delaware judge finds the right-wing network aired false and defamatory statements about Dominion Voting Systems' role in the 2020 presidential election. A jury trial is slated for late April.

In his ruling, Judge Davis said that Dominion presented “clear and convincing evidence” that the statements from Newsmax were false and that they would “likely cause reasonable viewers to think significantly less favorably about Dominion than if the viewers knew the truth.”

Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages, which will be decided by a jury in a trial that will begin April 28 unless a settlement is reached.
