This week, Fox News initiated legal action against Los Angeles County to obtain documents concerning the county’s dealings with Smartmatic Corp, a voting software and hardware company.

The lawsuit was filed by attorneys shortly after a court of appeals in New York rejected a motion to dismiss Smartmatic’s defamation lawsuit against Fox News, which seeks $2.7 billion in damages. The lawsuit accuses the network of spreading false information and conspiracy theories related to the alleged manipulation of the 2020 election.

Fox News’ legal action claims that there is evidence of misconduct involving LA County officials and Smartmatic employees during the procurement process for voting technology services.

“Fox News brings this action to obtain public records that relate to the relationship between L.A. County and election systems company Smartmatic — two entities with recent and extensive allegations of corruption in government contracts,” the lawsuit reads. “Fox News has already uncovered evidence showing personal benefits, including some undisclosed, flowing from Smartmatic to one County official.”
