Fox has more headaches coming after agreeing to pay $787.5 million to settle Dominion's defamation lawsuit

• After shelling out $787.5 million to settle Dominion's lawsuit, Fox has more troubles on the way.
• Smartmatic's $2.7 billion suit may be an even bigger threat.
• The company now has Dominion's roadmap and potentially more leverage.

Fox isn't out of the woods yet.

The conservative media company averted a reputationally costly defamation trial with Dominion Voting Systems for the financially costly price of $787.5 million.

More headaches are looming.

Atop the list is a separate lawsuit from Smartmatic, another election technology company that sued Fox News Network and its parent company, Fox Corp., in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
