The judge in Dominion Voting Systems Inc.’s $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News balked at ordering the network to turn over performance reviews of Tucker Carlson and other hosts who aired false election-fraud claims.

Reviews are “about as personal as it gets,” Judge Eric Davis said at a discovery hearing Tuesday in Delaware state court. The request is “too intrusive” without further explanation on why the reviews might help Dominion’s case, he said.
