Overview
- Former President Donald Trump reiterated false claims of a stolen 2020 election during a press event at Mar-a-Lago.
- 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.
- Trump's remarks were not covered by CNN and MSNBC, but Fox News aired them with an immediate disclaimer to avoid further legal issues.
