>> details of the election rigging are beginning to emerge from all around the country. >> reporter: some of the best-known current and former faces of fox news may soon trade their anchor chairs for the witness stand in a delaware courtroom. they appear on the witness list along with top fox executives including chairman and ceo rupert murdoch in a defamation lawsuit that could have a devastating impact on the company. >> this is the strongest case you've ever seen? >> strongest case in terms of the evidence. >> reporter: lee levine is a retired first amendment lawyer who has litigated on behalf of major media companies including cbs and fox. >> i have never seen a case involving a public figure where the evidence of actual malice that they will have to put before a jury is stronger. >> reporter: until it filed this lawsuit few americans knew much about the plaintiff, dominion voting systems. during the 2020 election

dominion provided machines and ballot scanners to 28 states. on election night fox news took many of its viewers by surprise with this. >> fox news decision desk is calling arizona for joe biden. that is a big get. >> reporter: chris stierwalt, fox news political editor at the time, helped make the call. >> i was surprised how damn scared everybody was and how much just this intense fear -- >> fear of viewers? >> fear of viewers. fear about ratings. fear about trump. >> reporter: what happened after that call was an exodus of angry fox viewers, including president donald trump himself. to win them back -- >> president trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes but by millions of votes. >> reporter: dominion alleges fox intentionally allowed attorney sidney powell, rudy giuliani -- >> this was a stolen election.

>> reporter: -- and others supporting trump to make false statements about dominion. >> the dominion software system has been tagged as one allegedly capable of flipping votes. >> the supreme court has said what is not protected by the first amendment is the knowing falsehood, the calculated lie. >> reporter: dominion has already begun making its case in public, releasing texts and other communications obtained but litigation like this on yox chief political correspondent bret baier on november 5th. "there is no evidence of fraud. none." yet three days later -- >> potentially a stolen election. >> reporter: his colleague maria bartiromo interviewed attorney powell, who falsely claimed she had proof that dominion had rigged the election. >> they also used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip. >> reporter: part of the proof provided by powell according to court documents? an e-mail from a woman who said

she gained information from speaking to the wind. bartiromo herself later described the e-mail as nonsense. and still -- >> wow, this is explosive and we certainly will continue to follow it. >> reporter: over the next days and weeks powell and president trump's personal attorney, rudy giuliani, continued to appear on fox programs. >> sean, it was a national conspiracy. >> reporter: fox also received communications almost daily from dominion refuting the false claims, but fox never made a retraction. >> one could argue that at the very beginning when giuliani and powell were first saying these things they had no reason to believe they were false. but then once dominion started sending information to fox saying no, no, no, what they're saying is false, here's why, then a reasonable jury could find that fox knew it was false or probably false and let them come on and say it again. >> reporter: in fact, court

documents show that fox's own fact-checking unit, known as the brain room, found claims about dominion switching or deleting votes are 100% false. >> on the surface this looks terrible for fox. but isn't there some truth to the fox response that the plaintiff is just cherry-picking? >> sure. and yeah, they may be cherry-picking. but they're extraordinary cherries. it's just genuinely pretty shocking. >> reporter: ben smith has written extensively on media issues for the "new york times" and now semiafor, an online news site he co-founded. >> a big part of the case is the question of whether someone comes on your air and says something crazy, how responsible for that are you. and it's tricky with live television. somebody just suddenly opens their mouth and says something. a court isn't necessarily going to blame the broadcaster. >> let me just start by just saying this time is is yours. >> if you invite them back again and again and again, even as your senior executives are

saying this person is crazy, don't put them on the air. >> reporter: and fox show producers according to court documents continued to put powell and giuliani on air because it was good for business. "any day with rudy and sidney is guaranteed gold," wrote one producer for lou dobbs' show. what about fox's argument, which is you've got a sitting u.s. president and his attornys making allegations, that's newsworthy, and fox argues that it had to cover it. >> i mean, i think that's a pretty strong argument. fox didn't invent donald trump. fox didn't invent sidney powell. and even if they hadn't gone on fox they would be out there defaming dominion anyway. so i think fox would say this isn't really our fault, we're just reporting on it. >> reporter: the judge has already ruled that statements broadcast by fox were false and defamatory, and just this past week said fox cannot argue those false statements were

newsworthy. still, dominion faces the biggest hurdle of all. to convince a jury that fox and its famous faces acted with actual malice, that they knew the claims were false or had serious doubts about them and aired them anyway. former fox news political editor chris stirewalt. >> didn't you in your deposition say by november 7th when the election was called nobody believed that donald trump had won, right? >> i said no reasonable person. that doesn't include all tv anchors in the category of reasonable persons. i don't know what anybody believed in their heart of hearts. >> reporter: fox news denies actual malice, asserting in court documents that it reported dominion's denials and pushed back on sidney powell's allegations. >> she never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately was software from one candidate to another. not one. >> i really don't think that's how def-nation works. i think if i defame them and you don't defame them that i get

credit for the fact that you didn't. >> reporter: and fox also asserts that some hosts believed the allegations. >> in maria bartiromo's deposition she says she still doesn't know what happened in the election. does that get her off the hook for actual malice if she says still don't know, i didn't know then and i don't know now? >> the very likely answer to that is no, that does not get her off the hook. as one of my former partners has been quoted as saying, there's no insanity defense in defamation law. >> reporter: in a statement responding to this report, fox said "dominion's lawsuit is a political crusade in search of a financial windfall." but whatever happens in cour dominion may already have won a victory by embarrassing fox, releasing texts and e-mails that among other things appear to show tucker carlson supportive of mr. trump on air -- >> amazing. really an amazing conversation. >> reporter: expressing

something else privately. "i hate him passionately." >> dominion has already won a lot. >> reporter: two months after the 2020 election chris stirewalt lost his job at fox. it was officially part of a restructuring. he says he was fired for doing his job too well. he has written a book pushing for change at fox and all television news networks. >> i think what they've already won is getting this basic admission that the news has to be the news. >> that again was erin moriarty reporting. you're watching the "cbs overnight news." your new axe fine fragrance body wash, sir.

law. it's the first confirmation that thomas received money directly from the billionaire, who he calls a close friend. now, it was previously reported that the friend also took thomas and his wife on lavish vacations for more than 20 years. jan crawford reports. >> reporter: conservative supreme court justice clarence thomas is under scrutiny for th second time this month after propublica reported on undisclosed financial ties to republican mega donor harlan crow. cbs news can confirm pro publica's reporting that crow purchased a property belonging to thomas. the undisclosed 2014 deal included the purchase of a home and two vacant lots for more than $130,000. that made crow the owner of the home thomas's mother lived in that later underwent tens of thousands of dollars' worth of renovations. but thomas didn't report the sale despite a federal disclosure law partly designed to help avoid conflicts of interest.

that law indicates justices should report most real estate deals over $1,000. >> experts told us it appears that thomas very clearly violated the law. >> reporter: joshua kaplan is one of the reporters who wrote the story. >> i think one of the root issues here is is that the supreme court has very, very little transparency and very, very little oversight compared to essentially every other part of the federal government and the justices have been essentially almost entirely left to police themselves. >> reporter: crow says in a statement that he bought it to one day create a public museum at the thomas home. this revelation comes on the heels of a report last week thomas accepted luxury vacations over the past two decades paid for by crow. in a statement following that report thomas said he was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends who did not have business before was not reportable. senate democrats in support of more transparency from the court

cement slopes. all under the care of genevieve church. >> i'm the executive director of city grazing. i'm the most glorified goatherd on the planet. >> reporter: in all her herd numbers 128. and the city is their pasture. >> we are a non-profit, and we take goats all over san francisco and some of the surrounding bay area to eat down fire hazard as we are here at malcolm x academy. >> reporter: the goats' main job is fire prevention because all this green will turn brown and dangerous in california's dry summer. but here at an elementary school, malcolm x academy, the goats can also be educational. >> the students get to come out here and see this, and it's a really tangible example of what we do and why we do it. >> reporter: rebecca polan is landscape manager for the san francisco unified school district. the goats, she says, provide a lesson in sustainability. >> it's a really circular ecology. the goats eat the grass and, you

know, they digest the grass and their waste is really great for the soil, which helps with erosion. and so over the long term instead of slowly degrading the land we're regenerating the land. >> reporter: what other kind of fire prevention could bring this much joy? now, why would a goat eat some grass from a hand on the other side of the fence line when there's all this grass over here? >> it could be more delicious. who knows what that child might put through the fence? so they are always opportunistic little beasts. >> reporter: it's an opportunity as well for many of the students here. >> every student comes from typically low income with families of color, born and raised, multigenerational families within our community. >> reporter: sarah haldana is school social worker of malcolm x academy. >> what are the challenges? >> various challenges within just attendance, showing up to school and having a consistent routine sometimes is hard. >> do you think attendance will be pretty good this week while the goats are in the yard? >> it's exciting. they're definitely excited to be here with the goats. >> reporter: it is likely to

take the 25 goats on this job a week or so to finish the cleanup. >> how much can a goat eat in a day? >> as much as it wants. >> reporter: it's a perfect job for an animal that's known as a big eater. but contrary to popular belief goats won't eat everything. >> they don't like doritos. people like to try to feed them their leftover food. sometimes we do ask, please don't feed the goats. >> reporter: with plenty of what they do like here and surrounded by admirers, this just may be a goat's field of dreams. john blackstone, cbs news, san francisco. >> i never thought i'd say this, but they're kind of cute. well, still ahead, it's not a rocket, but this american legend is built for speed. is built for speed. and we'll take a spin, next. ♪♪ open talenti and raise the jar to gelato made from scratch. raise the jar to flavors from the world's finest ingredients. and now, from jars to bars. new talenti gelato and sorbetto mini bars. ♪♪ want luxury hair repair that doesn't cost $50? pantene's pro-vitamin formula repairs hair.

>> the legacy of corvette isn't lost on any of us working on corvette. so there's always this challenge to keep the heritage intact but to always look forward. >> reporter: the corvette started as project opal in the 1950s. a distinctly american take on the popular british sports cars of the time. >> the shape of things to come. >> reporter: it made its debut at gm's 1953 motorama show in new york, going into production months later. 300 would be built, but only 183 sold. >> and then the next year they built more than they could sell. so very early on it was thought that perhaps this wouldn't last. >> reporter: that changed in 1955, when it got a v-8 and a face-lift the next year. when the stingray came in 1963, there was no questioning the corvette's muscle or its success. >> the history of corvette is really about pushing the envelope and about taking that performance as far as it can go. >> reporter: pushing that
