The trouble for Fox News continued on Friday, as a Delaware judge ordered a $1.6 billion lawsuit against the network by Dominion Voting Systems to go to trial.

The lawsuit was previously brought by Dominion after it alleged that Fox had purposefully aired false statements and allegations relating to Dominion's role in disproved voter fraud claims during the 2020 presidential election. This includes "false claims that the voting technology company rigged the 2020 presidential election by flipping millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden," CNN reported.
