Bartiromo to be deposed in defamation case

Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo will appear for a deposition in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case against Fox News over its airing of false claims made about the company during 2020 presidential election coverage, reports Stephen Battaglio of the Los Angeles Times.

Battaglio reports, “According to a filing in Superior Court in Delaware, Bartiromo is scheduled to give her deposition on Sept. 8 as the lawsuit filed last year by Dominion moves forward. The maker of electronic voting software and hardware headquartered in Toronto and Denver is seeking $1.6 billion in damages in the closely watched defamation case.

“Bartiromo is anchor of ‘Mornings with Maria,’ a daily program on Fox Business Network. She also hosts ‘Sunday Morning Futures,’ one of the most watched weekend programs on Fox News.”
