Tucker Carlson is being asked to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit against Fox News.
A number of people have been asked to sit for depositions by the end of the month.
On March 26, 2021, a defamation lawsuit was filed against Fox News, claiming that the network gave prominence to the election-fraud claims as a tactic to revive their ratings.
In the wake of the 2020 election, the company was repeatedly targeted with conspiracy theories.
Fox News was accused of selling a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes.
A judge rejected Fox's motion by the end of the year.
The freedom of the press is fundamental to our democracy and must be protected, in addition to the damages claims being outrageous, unsupported and not based in sound financial analysis, serving as nothing more than a blatant attempt to deter our journalists from doing their jobs.
Attorneys for Fox News did not reply immediately.
Key testimonies from the producers will be used to build the voting company's case in the upcoming trial.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis ruled in June that the lawsuit could proceed against Fox News and its parent company.
Fox Corporation could be held liable for pushing and directing the campaign of election lies, particularly after Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden and as the network sought to regain lost viewers from right-wing channels.
In February 2021, another voting systems company, Smartmatic, filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, Sidney Powell, and current and former hosts.
