Smartmatic settled its defamation lawsuit against OANN for an undisclosed sum on Tuesday, bringing an end to the first of several legal fights between the voting tech company and several media outlets and personalities that promoted former President Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election.
“Smartmatic has resolved its litigation against OANN through a confidential settlement,” Smartmatic’s lead attorney Erik Connolly told Mediaite.
The company also sued Fox News and Newsmax for airing false claims about its role in the 2020 election. Those suits are ongoing.
