As a prominent Fox News host, Jeanine Pirro – a friend of President Donald Trump and now a top Justice Department official – repeatedly sought to support Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election by claiming widespread voting machine fraud.
Newly filed court documents allege, however, that Pirro later acknowledged during court depositions under oath that she believed no voting machine fraud or failures had occurred and that the 2020 election Trump lost was, in her own words, "fair and free."
The documents were filed Aug. 19 by lawyers for the Smartmatic voting technology company as part of its ongoing $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox that was first filed in February 2021. Pirro was just one of many prominent Fox News on-air personalities who worked to help Trump push his false “Stop the Steal” narrative after his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
Stomartmatic's lawsuit alleges Pirro and others at Fox News falsely implicated Smartmatic in a made-up conspiracy to steal the election from Trump.
That claim has been debunked by a host of investigations, including the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which said in a November 2020 statement that there was "no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised."
