Dominion Voting Systems has filed a billion-dollar lawsuit alleging that Fox News promoted former president Donald Trump's claims that the latter's equipment was used to distort the 2020 election results, according to AFP.

Dominion's lawyers have uncovered company communications including private messages, texts, and emails from top Fox News figures revealing what commentators and executives felt about former President Trump. 

"We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights... I truly can't wait," Tucker Carlson wrote to his team on Jan 4, 2021, before Trump supporters stormed the US capitol Hill.

Few individuals at the network seemed to believe Trump's claims that the election had been "stolen," according to the internal Fox News records and emails uncovered by Dominions' lawyers. 

But, they kept their opinions to themselves and allowed controversial figures supporting that theory to appear weekly on Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Tucker Carlson's prime-time shows.

Murdoch’s media empire, which includes conservative channel Fox News, flagship paper The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Post, labeled Trump a loser responsible for putting the Republicans into “one political fiasco after another”.
