One America News Network walked back previous false claims it made on air about voter fraud in Georgia as part of a settlement with two election workers who sued it for defamation.
In a segment that aired on the conservative network Monday, an OAN TV presenter citing a Georgia state investigation said election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss “did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct.”
“A legal matter with this network and the two election workers has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties through a fair and reasonable settlement,” the presenter said.
Details of the settlement — reached last month between OAN owner Herring Networks Inc. and Freeman and Moss — weren’t publicly available. OAN President Charles Herring didn’t respond to requests for comment.
A person familiar with the terms of the settlement said OAN was required to air the segment as part of the agreement.
