WILMINGTON, Delaware, April 9 (Reuters) - Cable broadcaster Newsmax Media NMAX.N defamed Dominion Voting Systems with its false reporting accusing the voting machine company of rigging the 2020 U.S. presidential election, a Delaware judge ruled on Wednesday.
Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages which will be determined by a Delaware jury at a trial that is scheduled to begin on April 28 in Wilmington, said Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis.
