The move comes just a day after Smartmatic, a voting technology company, filed a $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox News, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and others.

Dobbs has been one of Donald Trump’s biggest cheerleaders and often pushed false allegations about voter fraud.

The Times points out “people familiar with discussions say the decision to end Dobbs’ program was under consideration before the legal issues with Smartmatic arose.”

TRUMP statement on LOU DOBBS:
“Lou Dobbs is and was great. Nobody loves America more than Lou. He had a large and loyal following that will be watching closely for his next move, and that following includes me.” – Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States
