Far-right network OAN settles 2020 election defamation suit brought by ex-Dominion executive
Source: CNN
(CNN) Far-right TV network One America News and one of its on-air personalities settled a defamation lawsuit brought by a former executive at Dominion Voting Systems, the election technology company that was falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election, according to new court filings.
Dominions former top security official Eric Coomer sued OAN and its correspondent Chanel Rion in the wake of the 2020 election, when they repeatedly peddled unfounded claims that he and Dominion were involved in massive election fraud in 2020 by flipping millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.
Terms of the out-of-court settlement, which was made public in a court filing, werent immediately available. The filing said OAN and Rion have fully and finally settled the disputes with Coomer, but did not provide any other details. Court records indicate that the deal was brokered late last week.
A spokesperson and attorney for OAN did not immediately respond to CNN requests for comment. Coomers attorney declined to comment.

If there aren't big penalties, then one can wonder what other deals may have been made - and to who's benefit.
