“In a ‘rare’ ruling, Dominion Voting Systems scored blockbuster victories against Fox News on multiple issues before their upcoming blockbuster trial next month,” Law & Crime writes.

The judge ruled in response to summary judgment motions from both sides that Dominion had been defamed by false statements on Fox. But damages and the question of whether Fox spread the falsehoods knowing they were untrue will be decided at trial, by a jury.

The New York Times has more:

A judge in Delaware Superior Court said that the case, brought by Dominion Voting Systems, was strong enough to conclude that Fox hosts and guests repeatedly made false claims about Dominion machines and their supposed role in a fictitious plot to steal the election from President Donald J. Trump.

“The evidence developed in this civil proceeding,” Judge Eric M. Davis wrote, demonstrates that it “is CRYSTAL clear that none of the statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true.”

The trial is expected to begin April 17, the Times reports. That’s less than three weeks away! But the case could still settle.
