Court Filing: Fox News stars privately trashed Trump’s election fraud claims

These details were revealed in a legal filing as part of Dominion Voting System’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News. Mary Anne Franks is a constitutional scholar and teaches law at the University of Miami. She tells Anderson Cooper if she thinks Dominion’s case meets the legal standard of actual malice.
