Dominion Voting Systems files $1.3B defamation lawsuit against pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell
Dominion Voting Systems on Friday filed a defamation lawsuit against pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell for claiming without evidence that the voting machine company rigged the 2020 presidential election for President-elect Joe Biden by manipulating votes.
Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages and an order from the court for Powell to cease making false statements about it.
"The recent attacks on the democratic process are not singular or isolated events," Dominion CEO John Poulos said on a call with reporters Friday morning. "They are the result of a deliberate and malicious campaign of lies over many months. Sidney Powell and others created and disseminated these lies, assisted and amplified by a range of media platforms.
"Lies were told about government election officials, election workers and dominion voting systems," Poulos continued. "Those lies have consequences. They have served to diminish the credibility of U.S. elections. They have subjected officials and Dominion employees to harassment and death threats. They have severely damaged the reputation of our company. Today is just the first step to restore our good name, and faith in elections by holding those responsible to account."
