        In the article that was posted.

        Isenstadt directly connected these settlements to the sale to Liberty, writing that “[a]s part of its deal with Dominion, Liberty officials asked Dominion to settle several other defamation lawsuits against Trump allies who attacked the company over the 2020 election results.”
