Overview

• Unsealed documents in Smartmatic’s defamation case quote Fox insiders calling Pirro “insane” and a “reckless maniac,” NPR reported.
• The filings include remarks that she had a “tendency to find random conspiracy theories on weird internet sites” and “I don’t trust her to be responsible.”
• Texts from November 2020 show senior programming executives warning that Pirro’s show would amplify stolen‑election claims with only token pushback.
• Pirro, who is a named defendant in the Smartmatic suit, now serves as the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., after being tapped by President Trump in May.
• Smartmatic seeks $2.7 billion in damages, Fox disputes the case as meritless and inflated, and the network previously paid $787.5 million to settle Dominion’s separate lawsuit.
