A jury has been selected for the $1.6 billion defamation trial between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, which is set to begin on Monday. Thousands of pages of documents have been released pretrial, giving the public a glimpse into the inner workings of Fox News and how it gave on-air credence to the baseless theory that former President Donald Trump had the 2020 election stolen from him. The trial is expected to be a long and drawn-out affair, with both sides bringing in high-powered lawyers, and could have far-reaching implications for the media industry and the strength of the First Amendment.
