Summary

Some of the most prominent stars and high-ranking executives at Fox News privately trashed former President Trump’s idea of election fraud in the 2020 election. This contradicts the lies the right-wing channel allowed on air about the presidential contest. These details were revealed in a legal filing as part of Dominion Voting System’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News. Mary Anne Franks is a constitutional scholar and teaches law at the University of Miami. She tells Anderson Cooper if she thinks Dominion’s case meets the legal standard of actual malice.

Plus, CNN National Correspondent Randi Kaye joins AC360 from Walterboro, South Carolina where the prosecution in the double murder trial of Alex Murdaugh rested its case after calling more than 60 witnesses to the stand. The now-disbarred attorney is accused of killing his wife and son back in 2021.
