Newsmax Pays $67M to Settle Dominion Election Defamation Suit

Newsmax settled its defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $67 million, acknowledging it had broadcast false claims that Dominion machines manipulated the 2020 presidential election. The settlement followed Dominion's $787.5 million settlement with Fox News in 2023. Newsmax's settlement came as Trump administration allies pushed legislation to ban mail-in balloting, which Dominion's lawsuit had documented as the target of the disinformation campaign.
