Fox News and former on-air host Lou Dobbs settled defamation claims by a Venezuelan businessman falsely accused on-air of being a central player in an effort to rig the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump.
Fox’s confidential accord with Majed Khalil was revealed in a brief letter Saturday to US District Judge Louis Stanton in Manhattan, who last year denied the network’s request to dismiss the lawsuit. Fox and Khalil will file a joint stipulation of dismissal early next week, according to the letter.
