Conservative-leaning cable news channel Newsmax agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $67 million to settle a defamation lawsuit over false election claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
Dominion Voting Systems filed its lawsuit against Newsmax and several other defendants in 2021, seeking $1.6 billion in damages. The settlement avoids a trial that was set to begin in October.
