Summary
Chairman of Fox Corporation Rupert Murdoch admitted in a deposition that some Fox News hosts “endorsed” election lies that claimed the 2020 presidential contest was stolen. Murdoch’s comments were made public in a legal filing as part of Dominion Voting Systems $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News. Lee Levine is a former First Amendment lawyer and defended cases brought against the media for more than 40 years. He tells Anderson Cooper why he thinks this is the strongest defamation case he’s seen.
Plus, Alex Murdaugh’s defense team rested its case after calling 14 witnesses. The once-prominent South Carolina attorney is accused of killing his wife and son back in June 2021. CNN National Correspondent Randi Kaye joins AC360 to discuss what jurors will be doing in the coming days.
