• Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner quickly fact-checked Trump, stating Joe Biden won with 51% of the vote, which was certified by states and accepted by Congress.
• The fact-check follows Fox News' $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over defamation claims related to election misinformation.
• Fox News remains engaged in litigation with Smartmatic, another voting systems company, over similar 2020 election-related claims.
