Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787.5 million settlement yesterday afternoon in a defamation lawsuit in which Dominion accused Fox of pushing conspiracies about the company "rigging" the 2020 election against Donald Trump that harmed the company's business. "Fox has admitted to telling lies," John Poulos, Dominion's CEO, said at a news conference. The settlement came at the 11th hour before a trial was set to begin, with the jury having already been sworn in. "We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," Fox said in a statement. An attorney for Dominion hopes the settlement can help restore faith in elections. "This alone can't do it, right? But this shows that there is accountability, that we showed that if you are caught lying, you will be held responsible," Justin Nelson told NBC News. Here's the latest. |

Blake Walsh, 19, shared his heartbreak over the loss of girlfriend Kaylin Gillis, 20, who was fatally shot last week when police said suspect Kevin Monahan, 65, fired twice at their vehicle after they mistakenly turned into the driveway of his home in upstate New York. Walsh was driving with Gillis and two friends on their way to a party when they realized they were at the wrong address and turned to leave. Walsh said a gunshot from the house struck Gillis in the neck. "I want to believe it was instant. I'm hoping it was. I'm praying it was," Walsh told NBC News through tears. Monahan has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder. Walsh and Gillis had been dating for four years. "I had high hopes, and I had plans," Walsh said. "I didn't want to be with anybody else, and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her." Read the full interview here. |

Raquel Doke, 28, was not initially alarmed last year when her face swelled up, thinking it was a reaction to too much salty food. However, the puffiness didn't go away, and she started experiencing bloating and discomfort in her abdomen and a disruption of her menstrual cycle. She was ultimately diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal cancer, a rare cancer that affects the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys and produce hormones that regulate essential body functions. Doke had a tumor removed along with one of her kidneys and is scheduled this month to have an ablation procedure, which involves using heat to kill tumor cells. Read the full story about her symptoms, treatment and outlook here. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Usually your baseball career ends and then you get a job in the real world. Jim Fullan, 56, is living the dream by doing the opposite. The father of three and grandfather of nine retired early this year after nearly 40 years with the U.S. Postal Service and is now pursuing his baseball dream. He made the team at Montgomery County Community College in Pennsylvania as an outfielder after tryouts in the fall. Opponents and umpires often confuse him with a coach and he has to do a lot more stretching than his younger teammates, but he has enjoyed every second. "It's nice to have dreams of doing things, but when you actually do them, it's so fulfilling," he told TODAY.com. |
