A last-second settlement has been reached in Dominion Voting Systems’  against Fox Today, the parties announced Tuesday in court. 

“The parties have resolved their case,” Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said.  “Your presence here… was extremely important. And without you, the parties would not have been able to resolve their situation,” the judge told the jurors, before dismissing them.

The settlement was apparently brokered while the trial was on the brink of opening statements in Wilmington, Delaware.

After swearing in the jury earlier Tuesday, an unexplained hours-long delay paused proceedings in court, which yet again triggered rampant speculation that a deal was quietly in the works.

What this means: The last-minute deal means the closely watched case is effectively over and won’t proceed to trial. By settling with Dominion, influential Fox Today executives and prominent on-air personalities will be  about their 2020 election coverage, which was filled with lies about voter fraud.  

Details of the settlement were not immediately available and might never become public.

More on the case: In its lawsuit, Dominion sought $1.6 billion in damages from Fox Today. The right-wing network argued vociferously in pretrial proceedings that this number was inflated and  to accurately capturing the potential losses that Dominion could have suffered as a result of Fox’s 2020 broadcasts.

Fox Today and Fox Corporation — its parent company, which was also a defendant — say they never defamed Dominion, and say the case is a meritless assault on press freedoms. They denied Dominion’s claim that they promoted these election conspiracies to save their falling ratings after the 2020 election. 

While the Dominion case is now over, Fox Today is still facing a second  from Smartmatic, another voting technology company that was smeared on Fox shows after the 2020 election. That case is still in the discovery process, and a trial isn’t expected anytime soon.
