Fox News host Sean Hannity admitted under oath that he “did not believe” for “one second” there was mass voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Hannity’s testimony was included in court depositions released on Wednesday in the Delaware Superior Court, according to The New York Times. They were part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News brought by Dominion Voting Systems.

Hannity was responding to a question in the deposition on whether he believed the false claims made by former President Trump’s attorney Sidney Powell in November 2020.

Powell told Hannity then that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election and that voting machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems helped steal the election by switching votes.

“I did not believe it for one second,” Hannity said in the released deposition, according to the Times.
Dominion is suing Fox News for defamation, alleging the media company spread false claims about its voting machines in the aftermath of the 2020 election, leading to financial loss.

Trump’s legal team and the former president’s allies did appear on Fox News and other conservative networks raising false claims about the voting machines, but Dominion would have to prove that Fox journalists knew the claims they were made false or acted with a reckless disregard for the truth.

Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for Dominion, made the case at the hearing the company has strong evidence that Fox News journalists knew claims about mass voter fraud in the 2020 election were false but chose to amplify them anyway, the Times reported.

“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” he said, according to the Times.

Those include Fox News hosts Meade Cooper and prime-time star Tucker Carlson, Shackelford said.
The case is slated to go to a jury trial in April. The depositions released on Wednesday were part of a hearing to address some issues.

Fox News is also facing another defamation suit filed by Smartmatic, another manufacturer of voting machines targeted by Trump allies after the 2020 election.

dominion is suing for 1.6 billion. smartmatic is suing for 2.7 billion. murdoch is worth 16.6 billion...too bad they didn't ask for more, the right judges would love to break murdoch's back, but 4.3 billion will still hurt, and maybe, just maybe, teach the motherfucker not to be such a fucking liar.

Lawyer urged White House aide to 'downplay' Jan. 6 knowledge -testimony
A former lawyer for ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson told her to “downplay” her knowledge of events leading to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, telling her “the less you remember, the better,” according to a transcript of her testimony released on Thursday.

Attorney Stefan Passantino advised Hutchinson in preparing for a February deposition before the U.S. House of Representatives committee probing the Capitol attack to say that she could not recall certain events, she told the committee in September

Hutchinson testified that Passantino, a former White House ethics lawyer under former U.S. President Donald Trump, never directed her to lie to the committee, but urged her not to try to refresh her memory and volunteer information about key events.

“The less the committee thinks you know, the better,” Hutchinson recalled Passantino telling her, the transcript released by the committee showed.

Passantino did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He told CNN earlier this week that he represented Hutchinson “honorably, ethically, and fully consistent with her sole interests as she communicated them to me.”

Trump White House Attorney Stefan Passantino tampers with witness Cassidy Hutchinson

19,385 views Dec 22, 2022
The January 6 House select committee released a transcript today of the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. Ms. Hutchinson testified that a lawyer named Stefan Passantino, who was paid for by a Trump-affiliated group, told her that, when she appeared before the J6 committee, she would say she does not recall facts that she DID recall. When she told Passantino that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Tony Ornato, related to her what happened in the presidential limo on January 6 regarding Trump "trying to wrap his hands around (the driver's) neck and strangle him," Passantino told her, "No, no, no, no, no. We Don't want to go there. We don't want to talk about that."

Given this reporting and Hutchinson's testimony, It's no surprise that the J6 committee referred Donald Trump and others to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution for the crime of "conspiracy to make false statements" to a congressional committee.
