Judge Expresses Anger Over Disclosure That Rupert Murdoch Is An Officer Of Both Fox News And Fox Corporation
“This is a problem,” Judge Eric M. Davis told Fox attorneys, saying that it could have impacted his previous rulings in the case.attorney argued that the last-minute disclosure, made by Fox to Dominion on Sunday, has had an impact on the way that the case has been litigated, suggesting that it means that Fox has not yet produced a wider set of documents in discovery, including those from Murdoch.
Nelson showed court filings from two years ago in which Fox listed Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, COO and CFO Joe Dorrego and Fox News President Jay Wallace as officers. Dominion’s attorneys have not yet said whether they will ask the court to make some sort of ruling based on the information, and the judge has not said what he would do. “We’ll deal with it.”
But Davis said that attorneys could still question a figure like Rupert Murdoch more generally on why the network wanted to veer away from Donald Trump and his vote rigging allegations. In messages previously disclosed in the case, Murdoch wrote on January 8 to former executive Preston Padden that Fox News is “very busy pivoting. We want to make Trump a non person.” Several days later, Murdoch told son Lachlan to tell a Fox Corp.
That said, Davis indicated that Fox News personalities who appear as witnesses could not be stopped from saying that they invited certain guests on their shows because they thought they were of newsworthy value. Dominion, Davis argued, could then easily counter the witness in cross examination.
