Dominion Voting Systems sued Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani on Monday, accusing the former New York City mayor of pushing a big lie about the company to gin up a baseless narrative of election-rigging.
The voting machine manufacturer filed a defamation lawsuit in a federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking $1.3 billion in damages after Giuliani waged a viral disinformation campaign based on demonstrably false claims, according to the complaint. The company says the false claims have jeopardized its contracts with states around the country and that it expects to lose hundreds of millions over the next five years.

There was no widespread fraud in the election, which a range of election officials across the country including Trump’s former attorney general, William Barr, have confirmed. Republican governors in Arizona and Georgia, key battleground states crucial to Biden’s victory, also vouched for the integrity of the elections in their states. Nearly all the legal challenges from Trump and his allies have been dismissed by judges, including two tossed by the Supreme Court, which includes three Trump-nominated justices.
Giuliani did not respond to a reporter s message seeking comment.
During an episode of Giuliani’s podcast, he charged that “Dominion had stolen the election ‘technologically,’” the lawsuit alleges, and warned listeners that cybercriminals could steal the titles to their homes online. The lawsuit also details Giuliani pitching supplements to cure their achy joints and muscles, offering a special discount code as he held up the bottles.

WASHINGTON (CN) A voting machine company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit Monday against Rudy Giuliani, saying the personal attorney to former President Donald Trump defamed it through the “big lie” campaign that denied the results of the 2020 election.
Represented by Thomas Clare of Clare Locke in Alexandria, Virginia, Dominion Voting Systems has brought a 107-page federal complaint in Washington that says the lies of widespread voter fraud spread by the former New York City mayor culminated in the storming of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, an insurrection led by a pro-Trump mob convinced the election had been stolen.
