Nearly five years into their legal battle, Smartmatic and Fox News both asked a New York judge on Tuesday to rule in their favor in a $2.7 billion defamation case that centers on false vote-rigging claims broadcast by Fox during the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
In a hearing at the New York State Supreme Court, Justice David B. Cohen heard arguments from both companies asking him to grant summary judgment, which would mean deciding in their favor on elements of the case. Justice Cohen is expected to issue a ruling in the coming weeks on whether the case will proceed to trial before a jury.
