Summary
Fox News executives vetoed Donald Trump from appearing on air on Jan. 6 2021 when hundreds of his supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol. Evidence from Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News revealed that Fox Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch told CEO Suzanne Scott that their on-air personalities should tell viewers the night before that Joe Biden won the election. Text messages between Fox's top personalities showed that they felt pressure from audience backlash on 2020 election night and expressed disbelief in claims of fraud being made against Dominion. Fox and its networks have denied the claims.
