'The Fox anchors were not innocent bystanders and the disinformation generated during their interviews was no accident,' the court filing alleges.

Trump's lawyers alleged that Smartmatic and other voting machine companies assisted in a nationwide conspiracy to rig their machines' vote counts against Trump.

Smartmatic's lawsuit claims that Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and former host Lou Dobbs knew that Trump's lawyers would lie about Smartmatic. Furthermore, the filing claims, the hosts added their"own defamatory comments," and did it it all for"personal gain."anchors were not innocent bystanders and the disinformation generated during their interviews was no accident.

The voting machine company Smartmatic has asked a judge to refuse Fox News' and its hosts' requests to dismiss a lawsuit alleging the network and its hosts"joined forces" with Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, two lawyers representing the campaign of then-President Donald Trump, in order to spread falsehoods about the voting machine company. The falsehoods included accusations that the company had committed fraud during the 2020 elections.

The lawsuit claimed that the Fox anchors reported that Smartmatic machines have a"backdoor [that] is capable of flipping votes," had"documented issues with their voting machine software," had"ties to Venezuela's Hugo Chavez" and was part of a"very large foreign intrusion and interference in the election of 2020." Smartmatic denies all of these claims.

However, Smartmatic's recent filing states that the First Amendment doesn't protect"knowingly false statement[s] ... made with reckless disregard for the truth." Smartmatic also notes that New York, where its lawsuit was filed, doesn't allow"neutral reporting" as a defense.
