Newly unredacted court documents from the Smartmatic-Fox News defamation lawsuit reveal that Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News weekend host and current U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, communicated in September 2020 that she was determined to support then-President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Despite Fox News policies prohibiting on-air personalities from engaging in political activities, Pirro expressed in a text message to the Republican National Committee chairman that she was working hard for Trump and the GOP just months before the 2020 presidential election. The documents also indicate that other prominent Fox News hosts privately sought to assist Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. These revelations come amid ongoing litigation involving Fox News and Smartmatic over defamation claims related to the 2020 election.
