Fox News host Sean Hannity, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, is set to be deposed on Wednesday as part of a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit against his network.
The $1.6 billion dollar suit was filed against Fox News last March by the voting machine company Dominion, which was at the center of numerous unproven conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election.
"The critical issue here is the state of mind of Fox and those individual people," Floyd Abrams, one of the country's leading experts on First Amendment law, told ABC News. "What did they say about Dominion, and did they believe it?" "Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion the process," Dominion said in its complaint.
"There are very few events in the last 50 years in this country that I think are more newsworthy than our president alleging that our entire Democratic system was put on its head by a voting machine company stealing votes," Webb told The Washington Post.Roy Gutterman, an expert on free speech at Syracuse's Newhouse School of Public Communications, said depositions in these kinds of cases can get heated.
The Fox News suit is part of a string of lawsuits Dominion has filed against those it says helped push false accusations that it helped sway the election -- a group that includes several of Trump's close allies.
