Smartmatic reached a last minute settlement in its defamation lawsuit against Newsmax, accusing the cable news network of promoting false claims about the 2020 election.
A Newsmax spokesperson confirmed that the litigation with Smartmatic was resolved through a confidential settlement as the case was about to go to trial.
The case is part of a series of defamation suits imposed by Smartmatic and Dominion against conservative news networks in response to 2020 election conspiracy theories.
There was major relief among Newsmax employees who anticipated testifying in court, following the decision to settle the lawsuit before it went to trial.
