Conservative network Newsmax agrees to pay $67M in defamation case over 2020 election claims

Newsmax will pay $67 million to settle Dominion's defamation lawsuit over false 2020 election rigging claims, with $27 million paid upfront and the remainder due by 2027.

  • Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle a defamation lawsuit over claims the conservative network made false statements about Dominion's voting machines being linked to fraud in the 2020 election.
  • The settlement amount is far lower than the $1.6 billion Dominion initially sought in damages when it sued Newsmax in 2021.
  • While denying its reporting was defamatory, Newsmax claimed it settled because it believed the court overseeing the case would not provide a fair trial.
