- Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.
- The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.
- OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.
- While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.
