Smartmatic Calls on Manhattan Judge to Dismiss Fox News’ Affirmative Defenses

In the ongoing defamation lawsuit between Smartmatic and Fox News, lawyers for the voting company are not holding back. They claim that Fox News’ affirmative defenses are like throwing “spaghetti against the wall” in a legal sense.

Fox News has put up a legal shield against the $2.7 billion Defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic. Their defense includes various reasons, such as citing protection under the First Amendment and arguing that Smartmatic is a public figure.
