Bartiromo already contributed to lies on Fox News host that cost Fox News a settlement of $787.5 million with Dominion Voting Systems. She and Fox still face a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit bought by voting company Smartmatic. Yet, both massive cases have stopped her from lying for disgraced former president Donald Trump.

Smartmatic sued Fox News and its anchors Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and Maria Bartiromo in February 2021 in New York state court, alleging they "engaged in a conspiracy to spread disinformation about Smartmatic" by pushing fraud claims involving its machines, along with far-right attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani. Powell has already pleaded guilty to her involvement in a conspiratorial effort to illegally overturn the 2020 election in 2020. Guiliani remains an indicted co-conspiracy in the same criminal case that could be tried in Fulton Country, Georgia, this coming March.

The Smartmatic lawsuit, which asks for $2.7 billion in damages, alleges that Bartiromo and her co-defendants "decided to make Smartmatic one of two villains in their story" for their own "selfish and financial reasons," alleging Giuliani and Powell "found a willing partner in Fox News" to spread their false fraud claims because Fox was trying to stop viewers from switching to further-right One America News and Newsmax.

The dishonesty revealed by Dominion Voting Systems' earlier this year as their case was approaching the trial date forced Fox News to settle for the $787.5 million they agreed to.

The 787.5 million dollar settlement and the danger of Fox News paying another enormous payment have persuaded her to be more truthful.

During a Sunday interview on her Fox News show, Bartiromo told former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 to 2021, during the Trump Administration Ben Carson, that she was concerned about New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron's gag order, which prevents Trump from attacking court staffers. Bartiromo falsely claimed that a judge's gag order prevented former President Donald Trump from saying "a word about anything."

"Yeah, and one of the things that I believe and think about as you're talking is this gag order on President Trump. He's the leading candidate. He is being faced with these indictments."

"He's going to have to testify in New York, and the judge is saying he can't say a word about anything," she added. "Jonathan Turley says it's unconstitutional."

It's important to understand that when the criminal justice system has indicted anyone, your freedom of speech and ability to travel becomes compromised, and all defendents come under the supervision of the criminal court's judge.

Carson responded by calling the United States a "two-bit banana republic."

"We have to be able to be the land of the brave, the land of the free," he said. "We have to be the home of the brave. We must be brave and stand up for our beliefs."

Neither Bartiromo nor Ben Carlson Acknowledged the gag orders put in place by Judge Endorgon and Judge Judge Chutkan's gag orders were VERY limited in scope and were used by them in an attempt to prevent anyone being inspired to cause harm to court employees and lawyers representing the NY Attorney General of New York and Department of Justice.
