Fox News-Dominion case heats up as Giuliani audio emerges and trial nears

The case against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems is heating up just days before the trial is set to begin on Monday.

It was not immediately clear whether Dominion would seek new depositions.

The evidence at issue included recordings a former Fox employee made of Giuliani, a lawyer for former president Donald Trump, saying before pretaped Fox appearances that he did not have any evidence to back up the false allegations of election rigging by Dominion in the 2020 race that are at the heart of the lawsuit.

The judge took his action based on details from a new filing in a separate lawsuit against Fox by Abby Grossberg, a former producer at the network.

Grossberg said in her latest filing that she had tapes of former Trump lawyers, including Giuliani, conceding they lacked evidence for their claims. The recordings and transcripts of them were widely circulated and discussed within Fox, Grossberg added.
