Smartmatic’s defamation case

There are going to be a lot of embarrassing things revealed during testimony. Many of team Trump lackeys will be compelled to testify. If I’m Smartmatic burying the Big liar Trump is just as important as damages! On top of that if Harris wins in November Trump will be seeing more court cases then Perry Mason !

At rallies, democrats are chanting "lock him up."  Obviously, Trump deserves to be in jail instead of the white house.  But his wealth has allowed him to escape justice through countless appeals.  No rational person should vote for a convicted felon with a long history of contempt for the rule of law.

True, but the MAGA cult across the nation is OK with that.

In blow to Newsmax, judge rules Smartmatic’s case over 2020 election lies will go to trial this month

Washington CNN —

A major defamation case against Newsmax

ruled Thursday, dealing a blow to the right-wing
network and setting the stage for the 2020 election
to be relitigated during the final stretch of the 2024 race.

Newsmax faces defamation trial
over trump's 2020 election lies

Washington CNN —

Jury selection is set to begin Thursday in a closely watched defamation trial pitting voting technology company Smartmatic against the right-wing cable network Newsmax, in a high-stakes case over the airing of false 2020 election claims.

Asimilar lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems was famously settled last year for a record $787 million.

The Newsmax case revolves around the same false claims, championed by former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, that the 2020 election was rigged by Smartmatic software and others. The Florida-based company sued Newsmax and other right-wing outlets and figures in 2021, alleging that its reputation was destroyed by the lies.

BREAKING NEWS:

Newsmax surrenders and cuts a deal with Smartmatic

CNN —

   The pro-Trump cable channel Newsmax has settled
a major 2020 election defamation lawsuit with Smartmatic
in a last-minute agreement to avoid a high-stakes trial that
posed a significant risk to the small outlet.

Rare for successful defamation lawsuits against media companies.  Exceptions are Fox news and Newsmax because they lie so much.  Truth is the strongest defense to defamation lawsuit.
