Multiple current and one former Fox News hosts have been or will be deposed in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against the network in the coming days, according to a new report.
Among them are prime time stars Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, as well as host Jeanine Pirro and Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy.
Citing court records in Delaware Superior Court, New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters reported former Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs has also been asked to appear.
Sean Hannity became the latest Fox star to be called for a deposition by Dominion’s legal team, according to a new filing in Delaware Superior Court. He is scheduled to appear on Wednesday.
Tucker Carlson is set to face questioning on Friday. Lou Dobbs, whose Fox Business show was canceled last year, is scheduled to appear on Tuesday. Others who have been deposed recently include Jeanine Pirro, Steve Doocy and a number of high-level Fox producers, court records show.
Dobbs left the company early last year. Dominion’s lawyers might also seek comments from Fox News executives Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace, and Fox’s owners.
“Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, whose family owns Fox, could follow in the coming weeks,” Peters reported.
Dominion sued the network for alleged defamation following the 2020 election, accusing the network of spreading false claims of massive voter fraud that denied former President Donald Trump a win.
