Fox News has asked a court in New York to dismiss a lawsuit filed by electronic voting company Smartmatic, arguing that the company is seeking to stifle “debate and chill vital First Amendment activities.”
The news broadcaster on Monday filed a request to dismiss the defamation lawsuit arguing that Smartmatic’s case is “meritless.” The filing contends that Fox News had fulfilled its commitment to “inform fully and comment fairly” on the newsworthy topic of election challenges brought by former President Donald Trump.
