Tucker Carlson Producer To Consider Testifying Against Fox News in Dominion Lawsuit

A former Tucker Carlson producer for the media giant Fox News alleged she was "conditioned and coerced" to give false testimony about the billion-dollar Dominion lawsuit against the network.

Fox News producer Abby Grossberg claimed that the media network's attorneys had ordered her to testify during her deposition in a way that would "inculpate" her and host Maria Bartiromo while absolving "certain blame-worthy male colleagues," according to ABC News.

The complaint also alleges that Grossberg's deposition testimony was manufactured by Fox News, which has placed her and Bartiromo on the frontline of the Dominion lawsuit so they "could be scapegoated as sacrificial female lambs."

Grossberg already filed a lawsuit against the network, with accusations of fostering a "toxic atmosphere victimizing women."

She also said in her complaint that she will "never testify on behalf of Fox News," and will only give her testimony on "behalf of Dominion."

A Fox News representative said that the media's attorneys advised the former network producer that she was free to file whatever legal claims she wanted.

However, Grossberg was in "possession of our privileged information" and was unauthorized to release it publicly, according to the representative.

Former Tucker Carlson Producer

NPR reported that Grossberg had worked as a senior booking producer for Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo until last year when she became the producer for Carlson.

In her complaint, she named Fox News attorneys Stephen Potenza and Lesley West and two lawyers from their lead outside law firm, Winston & Strawn, as defendants.

It contains allegations of sexism and antisemitism in the workplace. She also named Carlson as a defendant, as well as the network and its top executives.

Fox News filed a restraining order against the Tucker Carlson producer to prevent her from publicly releasing information linked to the Dominion lawsuit. However, it was dropped when she filed her complaint.

Dominion Lawsuit

Dominion Voting System argued in its lawsuit that Fox recklessly repeated false accusations from supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump, noting that its machines and the software used were responsible for Trump's election loss in 2020.

Associated Press News noted that the lawsuit has shown that top Fox executives and personalities did not believe the false claims but aired them anyway.

Dominion attorney Rodney Smolla said the effort was a deliberate decision by those responsible for the broadcasts.

Meanwhile, Fox argued that they were simply reporting on "newsworthy allegations," which were founded on Trump's false claims that the election was stolen from him.

Fox lawyer Erin Murphy said they never aired those claims to be true, adding that all they did was "provide viewers the true fact" that the allegations were being made.

Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis said that he has not decided yet, saying he needs to be "educated" on the matter.

Smolla said that repeating or publishing a "defamatory statement from someone else" means you "adopt it as your own."
