A trial beginning Monday in Delaware will force Fox News executives and some of the network's stars to answer for their role in spreading doubt about the 2020 presidential election

Barring a last-minute settlement, opening statements are scheduled for Monday.

If the trial were a sporting event, Fox News would be taking the field on a losing streak, with key players injured and having just alienated the referee.Court papers released over the past two months show Fox executives, producers and personalities privately disbelieved Trump's claims of a fraudulent election.

Davis said it also is clear that Dominion's reputation was damaged, but it will be up a jury to decide whether Fox acted withFox witnesses will likely testify that they thought the allegations against Dominion were newsworthy, but Davis made it clear that's not a defense against defamation — and he will make sure the jury knows that.

“A lawsuit is a little bit like hitting a home run,” said Cary Coglianese, law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “You have to go through all of the bases to get there." The judge's rulings"basically give Dominion a spot at third base, and all they have to do is come home to win it.”
