Smartmatic's defamation lawsuit against Newsmax was settled just as jury selection commenced, addressing claims that Newsmax aired false reports linking the company to election fraud.
According to a spokesman for Newsmax, the broadcaster is 'pleased to announce it has resolved the litigation' with a confidential settlement, but specific details remain undisclosed.
This legal action adds to Smartmatic's history of pursuing defamation claims against broadcasters that have spread conspiracy theories regarding the company's alleged involvement in the 2020 election.
In April, Smartmatic also settled a similar defamation case against One America News Network, emphasizing a trend of legal responses to baseless claims about election integrity.
