2021 • E29 Aug 30, 2021 45m
On the night of the US presidential election, Donald Trump declared the vote was a "major fraud on the American people".
Rather than face defeat, he, and his allies, began a campaign claiming the election had been stolen.
In the aftermath, some high profile Fox News presenters gave a platform to Trump's campaign pouring fuel on the already ferocious political divide.
Now their words and actions in the feverish weeks that followed the election are under scrutiny in multi-billion dollar lawsuits.
The second part of this Four Corners special examines the case being made against high profile Fox News presenters and Trump backers.
