privately, carlson called sidney powell a liar texting laura ingraham, sidney powell is lying, by theay, i caught her. it's insane. martiromo put her on the air, which raises the question, why is she still there if he was fired? look, whether any of the stunning revelations from the dominion suit are now known to focus viewers, that's an open question. as "the new york times" pointed out, on the day the dominion case was settled for a record amount, it led many major news outlets, but it was hardly mentioned on fox. c quote, the $787.5 million settlement was covered only three times by fox news in about four hours after the settlement became public amounting to about six minutes of coverage. for most of the day including during the network's prime time shows, hosts appeared to be focusing on other issues like illegal immigration and covid-19's possible origins. while dominion was not able to extract an on-air apology from fox news, it seems obvious that the network could no longer keep carlson on the payroll because of this case and apparently other unrelated reasons. hopefully it mea

tucker carlson told sidney powell quote. you keep telling our viewers that millions of votes were changed by the software. i hope you will prove that very soon. you convinced them that trump will win if you don't have conclusive evidence of fraud that scale. it's a cruel and reckless thing to keep saying again. he never said anything like that on his show. as the dominion documents point out, carlson hosted other election liars like michael lindell. every outlet in the country. they go michelangelo. there's no evidence and he's making fraudulent statements. no i have the evidence. i dare people to put it on. i dare dominion to assuming because then it would get off faster. so this is you know, they don't. they don't want to talk about it. they don't want to say they just say you're wrong, and i'm going out making conspiracy theories go away by doing that. certainly no pushback there. there were times fox anchors made the right call, for instance, neil cavuto cut away from a live field campaign press conference by the former

but sidney powell's version of events was so far out there, which i think helps to explain, you know, because she's so far out there, it helps to explain that their story too is just ridiculous and to really plum the depths of that is really important to go into what she was saying in that slip would be very important to say, what was your understanding, mr. epstein did you have a conversation with somebody about sidney powell and what did they say to you so this gives you all sorts of different leads that you will want to follow up on, what sidney powell said, what they all said not just what is in the text messages, but what were your conversations, and it helps you to put together this mosaic to understand, not just what people were saying, not just what the story was, what the formula was. but also help you with the context and anticipate what the defense will say, because often times, the defense will be, well, that is taken out of context. so a lot of your interview here of a witness is going to be kind of looking toward a preemptive i know what the texts say, but i need to kind

sidney powell. >> reporter: -- as fox hosts and their frequent guests, trump lawyer sidney powell and rudy giuliani aired false claims following the election. text messages show tucker carlson saying powell is lying and laura ingraham saying that sidney is a complete nut. >> i think it could be very damaging to fox's stars or to fox's big-name executives, including and especially the murdochs, to have to testify. >> reporter: dominion's lawyers will argue fox was worried about losing viewership and purposely let the false fraud claims continue on-air. but proving defamation requires overwhelming evidence. >> what you're dealing with is a high bar, and it should be a high bar for the simple reason that we want freedom of the press. >> reporter: a final round of jury selection is set for tomorrow morning followed by opening statements unless there is a last-minute settlement. norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you. >>> we want to turn now to three americans missing at sea for nearly two weeks. a desperate search is under way by the mexican navy and u.s. coast guard. cbs's elise preston h

here is sidney powell. where dobbs asked what evidence she has a fraud on the 2020 elections. let's listen to her answer. we will just fast-forward it once again. >> your reaction? >> i can hardly wait to put forward all the evidence we have collected on dominion, starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in venezuela for hugo chavez and then shipped internationally to manipulate votes for purchase in other countries, including this one. it was funded by money -- >> here we have sidney powell claiming that they have proof that dominion was created to produce altered voting results in venezuela for hugo chavez, another false venezuela tie allegation against dominion voting systems. well-deserved lawsuit indeed as fox news braces for yet another 2.7 billion voting lawsuit -- voting system lawsuit coming up. his it's not over yet. >> thanks very much. that is it for the moment. more news coming up. >> albania has become a haven for afghans fleeing the taliban. >> from the day we came here, every single promise made has been broken. >> they hope to co

fox didn't invent sidney powell.hey 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 d

"sidney powell is lying," he said.cing a six—week trial where more embarrassing details were certain to emerge. they decided to settle. fox has agreed to pay $787 million to settle dominion�*s defamation lawsuit. the truth matters, lies have consequences. over two years ago, a torrent of lies swept dominion and election officials across america. fox news still faces a second bigger defamation lawsuit from another firm, smartmatic, which is seeking almost $3 billion. graham satchell, bbc news. cbs news correspondentjarred hill esplained how the story is playing out across the us. on one hand, this is on the front page of most major us newspapers but it's not necessarily the main story. in fact, only really in the washington post is it the main headline story on there. and it's been looked at pretty straightforwardly as a case in which we're seeing fox news agreeing to pay $787 million in order to avoid this trial. now, when it comes to how fox is reporting on all of this, it's slightly different, there's less coverage t

so, giuliani and sidney powell, they were -- the lawsuits. is, what were they saying publicly and arguing and what were they saying privately? so, potentially, what were they even saying to the former president? because the question is, what did he know? what was his intent when he was doing this. and one rationalization people have said is, he might have really believed his attorneys. because rudy giuliani was a u.s. attorney in new york. he was a very substantial lawyer. so, if trump really believed them, that is one thing. and that's a good defense for him. but if they knew and were having conversations that this was not true, that is a tougher defense for him. >> do you think they were trying to get his hands on their tape before this lawsuit played out? or do you think dominion kind of opened things out for them to go in and say, hey, i want to hear, that i want to hear that, knowing what was in this lawsuit? >> i can't imagine they would know that these tapes even existed before she went public with it. the fascinating thing about this

and newsmax as well as against allies of the former president rudy giuliani, mike lindell and sidney powellin a moment, we're going to talk to former fox anchor gretchen carlson in her first interview since the settlement, but before we do, it is worth noting that fox is legal jeopardy is far from over the voting technology companies. smartmatic is suing the network for $2.7 billion for they say were over 100 false and misleading on your statement. it's about them. fox also faces the very real possibility of lawsuits from shareholders, which will explain more about in a moment prefers former fox anchor gretchen carlson, who reached a $20 million settlement with fox's parent company after alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. thank you so much for being with us. thanks for having me on you surprised by the settlement. no i was surprised that it went on as long as it did went up to up to date of the trial. i'm not a lawyer. i did take the l sets, but i feel like i'm sort of a half lawyer after everything i've been through and the one thing you learn is that you should never put your ceo

i mean, none of the people we're talking about, sidney powell, rudy giuliani, none of the lawyers involvedasn't been reported any of them have received word they're targets of a federal investigation. trump doesn't stay in power if he only overturns georgia. i mean, georgia's nonsensical. as a state stand-alone prosecution. congresswoman, where's merrick garland? >> well, they don't report to members of congress about where they are and they shouldn't that's not their job if they have something to say, they say it when they file an indictment so i don't know any more than anyone else where they are but we can see the people who are coming in to grand juries both in the department of justice inquiry and also in the georgia state inquiry, and i think looking at who's coming in it looks like they're pursuing the same things that we suggested. but that's just speculation given who is coming in to testify to the grand jury. i'll just say this they need to be thorough they shouldn't indict unless they believe they can convict. but the sooner they can make a decision the better off we are i think

she has sidney powell on her show and when sidney powell gets on the air, she uses the opportunity on the air to repeat the unfounded claims of dead voters and fraudulent ballots that rudy giuliani has just told bartiromo he has no evidence of. another recording that dates to december 5th of that year, a few weeks later, illustrates ways trump was signaling to fox what might go down on january 6th listen >> we have seen so much reporting, whether it be december 8th or december 14th, and we've seen virtually zero pickup of the january 6th date so realizing that a lot of folks, you know, who probably have normal lives haven't gone through it and looked at the case of hawaii in 1960 and how that went all the way to january 6th and such that's the whole reason why i wanted to chat with you to understand where the real back stops are here. >> the january 6th date, i'm pulling up the time loun, that's when they count the votes. >> right right. and if both sets of electors are set up, that would be the moment when the vice president, who's the president's senate, has to decide. >> telegraphi

. >> they were all pinning all of their hopes on rudy and sidney powell explains why team trump would go on to lose 61 times in court, judge after judge after judge in courts all across the country, some of those judges appointed by donald trump himself, as well as the united states supreme court dismissed trump's claims of fraud and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election through the courts and they lost because as they very well knew, as ted cruz knew, there wasn't any evidence of fraud recall what former arizona house speaker rusty bowers testified to before the january 6 select committee about a phone call, a meeting he had with rudy giuliani >> at some point did one of them make a comment that they didn't have evidence but they had a lot of theories? >> that was mr. giuliani. >> and what exactly did he say and how did that come up >> my recollection he said we have lots of theories, we just don't have the evidence, and i don't know if that was a gaffe or maybe he didn't think through what he said, but both myself and others in my group, the three in my group and my counsel, bo

in one private exchange on november 19, tucker carlson wrote to laura ingraham -- "sidney powell is lyingay. i caught her. it's insane." ingraham then replied -- "sidney is a complete nut. no one will work with her. ditto with rudy." carlson replied -- "it's unbelievably offensive to me. our viewers are good people and they believe it." rupert murdoch privately described the conspiracy theories as "really crazy stuff. and damaging." despite this, fox continued to amplify lies about the election. this is a november 2020 clip of trump attorney sidney powell being interviewed by maria bartiromo about dominion. >> i have never seen voting machines stop in the middle of an election, stop down and assess the situation. i also see reports that nancy pelosi's longtime chief of step is a key executive at that company. what can you tell us about the interests on the others of this dominion -- >> obviously, they have invested in it for their own reasons and are using it to commit this fraud, to steal those. i think i have even stolen them from other democrats in their own party who should be outrage

are billionaires, and we're going to go after the individuals who helped spread these lies -- sidney powell mike lindell, patrick burn and i think it sends a message that if you told these lies about the election, that there is accountability, and ultimately that's what it's all about. again, we're going to have misinformation, but i think what this is establishing is that there will be consequences to lying, and we embrace "new york times" versus sullivan we think actual malice is incredibly important for news organizations. but when you are knowingly lying, recklessly disregarding the truth, there are consequences to that, and that's what the past 48 hours have shown. >> yeah. i mentioned before that we will see this very case in the law school books for some time to come, this precedent we've heard from not only you, you have a stake in it, but heard from experts about why this could be a positive line in the sand, so striking to hear directly from a lawyer who helped lead that charge. i appreciate you coming on i hope you come back to update us on those other pages, which are also impor

we have lawsuits against newsmax against one american news against sidney powell against rudolph giuliani and mike lindell and my pillow and patrick byrne. and many of them are still propagating. these lies about the election, and they are still having an effect. and so we intend to hold people accountable because, as we have said, the truth really does matter and if you are lying that has consequences. it had a consequence for dominion in the horrible here the grievous blow to the reputation that it had over the past couple of years and the threats the death threats that the company really continues to receive, and it had a consequence for fox. today they paid nearly three quarters of over three quarters of a billion dollars. alright justin nelson, thank you so much, and i want to turn to alison. you worked at fox for 16 years. what do you make of the fact that fox viewers won't hear a retraction or apology outright? i consider this a win for fox. i considered a win for dominion, as he just said. they get a lot of money, and it helps their checkbook. i don't know that it helps their repu

we've seen the evidence from these crazy emails that started it all to people saying that sidney powell was lying to the motive that occurred and this was all in black and white and documents that have been revealed. so would the trial have put on that same evidence, of course, but at the end of the day i think the accountability came from what already has happened over the last months, and, of course, the payment itself having a nearly $800 million payment, really, i think sends a strong message about what it means to lie. justin nelson. thank you for your time. we'll be following those. i think six other cases that you are lead counseling as well as this progresses. thanks very, very much. thanks, justin. thank you very much. appreciate it. so we're gonna move on now and talk about the white homeowner accused of shooting a black teenager who rang his doorbell is already out on bail. the mayor of kansas city says that the teen was shot for simply existing while black. he's going to join us live that's next. the biggest sale of the season just got extended at flooring save up to 25% on
