Dominion Voting Systems sued Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani over claims of fake election fraud campaign during the 2020 US presidential election.
The company in the 107-page Plea, filed in the Federal District Court in Washington.
Dominion Voting Systems accuses lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani of spreading “a viral disinformation campaign about Dominion” made up of “demonstrably false” allegations, in part to enrich himself through legal fees and his podcast.
Dominion Voting Systems in this Plea sought $1.3 billion in compensatory and punitive damages.
The 107-page document lists statements from Rudolph W. Giuliani which he made on Twitter, his podcast, in the media, and during legislative hearings about Dominion – one of the largest companies selling voting machines used in the US.
Rudolph W. Giuliani in a statement released said that the lawsuit amounted to intimidation and that he was contemplating a countersuit.
“Dominion’s defamation lawsuit for $1.3B will allow me to investigate their history, finances, and practices fully and completely,”.
Mr. Giuliani said. “The amount being asked for is, quite obviously, intended to frighten people of faint heart. It is another act of intimidation by the hate-filled left-wing to wipe out and censor the exercise of free speech, as well as the ability of lawyers to defend their clients vigorously. As such, we will investigate a countersuit against them for violating these Constitutional rights.”
