Dominion Voting Systems won a significant ruling against Fox News Network on Friday, with a judge finding that Fox News aired false statements about Dominion related to the 2020 presidential election and must face a jury trial in the defamation lawsuit.

"While the Court must view the record in the light most favorable to Fox, the record does not show a genuine issue of material fact as to falsity," wrote Judge Eric Davis in a Delaware Superior Court ruling on summary judgment. Dominion provided "extensive proof" to meet its burden of showing that Fox aired false statements and Fox wasn't able to refute those accusations, he added.
