Ep. 187 Dominion vs. Fox lawyers reflect on historic case

On April 18, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems
$787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit stemming from
allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The
historic settlement came just before the trial was set to begin
in a case many saw as having significant First Amendment
implications.

In this exclusive conversation, attorneys for Fox and Dominion
join First Amendment attorney Lee Levine to reflect on what led
to the case, its outcome, and the arguments they would have made
had the case gone to trial. 


Tom Clare is a founding partner of Clare Locke LLP and was
counsel to Dominion. Dan Webb is co-executive chairman of Winston
& Strawn and was counsel for Fox News.


The conversation was organized and presented by The First
Amendment Salon on Tuesday, May 9.
