JUST IN: New Messages Between Maria Bartiromo and Dominion Representative Released in Fox News Lawsuit

More behind the scenes Fox News communications are coming to light thanks to the Dominion defamation lawsuit currently underway.

The latest reported exchanges involving concerns over election fraud conspiracy theories being spread on the network in the wake of the 2020 presidential race reveals host Maria Bartiromo was being actively asked by Dominion to stop airing these conspiracy theories.

The documents were flagged by The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr.

Fox argued that the exchanges show Bartiromo did not act with “actual malice.”

Barr reported the Bartiromo/Dominion exchange was turned in so late into the process due to a “technical error.” Previous revelations from the Dominion case have included exchanges that show both executives and anchors at the network showing growing concern with election fraud theories being pushed by guests. Fox meanwhile has accused Dominion of mischaracterizing out of context quotes to make their argument.

The new exchanges are emails shared between Bartiromo and Tony Fratto, a former George W. Bush official and the founder of Hamilton Place Strategies, a consulting firm for Dominion.

In the emails, Fratto takes issue with multiple Fox guests, including former Donald Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, both of whom were highly critical of Dominion’s voting machines and claimed there was widespread fraud for which there was no definitive proof.

“I’m not sure what to think,” Bartiromo reportedly wrote in November 2020 in response to Fratto dismissing a conspiracy theory pushed by Powell. Bartiromo said she would need to see hard evidence “within the next three weeks,” but she noted that many believe the election was stolen.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly identified Tony Fratto as an executive at Dominion. Fratto served as a representative for Dominion.
