Fox News can get Smartmatic records about Philippines bribery case, court rules
- A state appellate court in New York granted Fox News permission to obtain certain internal documents from Smartmatic related to a U.S. Corruption investigation involving the company's activities in the Philippines.
- The ruling overturned earlier refusals of Fox’s requests to access documents related to a U.S. Investigation that resulted in criminal allegations against Smartmatic executives for alleged bribery spanning from 2015 to 2018.
- Smartmatic, based in Florida, is suing Fox News and certain on-air hosts for $2.7 billion over the network’s coverage falsely claiming the company rigged the 2020 presidential election vote.
- Federal officials and courts found no credible evidence of widespread fraud affecting the 2020 election outcome, which Democrat Joe Biden won, while Fox and Smartmatic lawyers dispute disclosure of relevant materials.
- The appeals panel reasoned that the Philippine case documents are plainly relevant to Fox’s defense regarding Smartmatic’s alleged lost profits damaged before Trump’s claims.
