Newsmax has reached a settlement with election systems company Smartmatic, averting a defamation trial that was set to start next week.

The terms were not disclosed. Smartmatic had sued the outlet over its amplification of claims that it was involved in rigging of the 2020 election, even though, in reality, the election systems company was only providing services in Los Angeles County. “Newsmax is pleased to announce it has resolved the litigation brought by Smartmatic through a confidential settlement,” the media outlet said in a statement.

Smartmatic said, “We are very pleased to have secured the completion of the case against Newsmax.” Jury selection started today in Delaware Superior Court, and the trial was scheduled to begin on Monday.

The judge in the case, Eric M. Davis, also presided over Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox, which settled last year just as a trial was to start.
