Newsmax Apologizes to Dominion Voting Systems Over Election Fraud Claims

Since the presidential election, Dominion Voting Systems has filed multiple defamation lawsuits against Trump supporters who’ve alleged that Dominion was to blame for the former president’s loss.

Now, conservative television outlet Newsmax has walked back its claims that Dominion helped rig the voting process so as to avoid a defamation suit. The outlet also apologized to Eric Coomer, security director at the U.S. election equipment manufacturer.

“Newsmax has found no evidence that Dr. Coomer interfered with Dominion voting machines or voting software in any way, nor that Dr. Coomer ever claimed to have done so,” its statement said. “Nor has Newsmax found any evidence that Dr. Coomer ever participated in any conversation with members of ‘Antifa,’ nor that he was directly involved with any partisan political organization.”

Newsmax also wrote in its statement that its allegations that Trump was victorious in the election were false.

“Newsmax would like to clarify its coverage of Dr. Coomer and note that while Newsmax initially covered claims by President Trump’s lawyers, supporters and others that Dr. Coomer played a role in manipulating Dominion voting machines, Dominion voting software, and the final vote counts in the 2020 presidential election, Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true,” the release said.
