Voting technology company Smartmatic and conservative cable network Newsmax have settled a defamation lawsuit, averting a trial that was scheduled to begin next week. The specifics of the confidential settlement remain undisclosed, but the agreement was reached during jury selection. This case would have been significant, as it would have been the first to determine whether a cable news network made defamatory claims about a voting technology company in relation to the 2020 election.

Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah has accused Newsmax of editing out part of an interview in which he discussed his opposition to the Ukraine aid bill. The senator had specifically agreed to be interviewed on the topic, but Newsmax later said the edit was made due to time constraints.
