Dominion Voting Systems has filed a defamation for lawsuit for $1.3 billion against President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who led the legal team that attempted to expose and reverse the effects of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, seeks the more-than $1 billion sum in damages because Giuliani’s allegedly fraudulent claims hurt Dominion’s business.
Dominion is one of the leading voting-machine companies in the country, and its technology was widely used in Georgia, which flipped blue in 2020. Biden was the first Democrat to win the state since 1992, and both of the incumbent Republican senators — David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler — lost to Democrat challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively.
Giuliani and other members of President Trump’s legal team claimed that Dominion machines were manipulated to carry out voter fraud that swung the election to Joe Biden in Democrat-controlled precincts in key battleground states.
The Dominion lawsuit was filed in federal court in the District of Columbia.

“For Dominion — whose business is producing and providing voting systems for elections — there are no accusations that could do more to damage Dominion’s business or to impugn Dominion’s integrity, ethics, honesty, and financial integrity,” the suit reads. “Giuliani’s statements were calculated to — and did in fact — provoke outrage and cause Dominion enormous harm.”
“Dominion brings this action to set the record straight, to vindicate the company’s rights under civil law, to recover compensatory and punitive damages, and to stand up for itself, its employees, and the electoral process,” the lawsuit added.
During one episode of Giuliani’s podcast, he claimed that Dominion had stolen the election “technologically.”
In a hearing before Arizona lawmakers, Giuliani gave time to retired Colonel Phil Waldron, a cybersecurity expert.
During his testimony, Waldron confirmed that experts witnessed Dominion communicating with Frankfurt, Germany, on Election Day.
Said Waldron:
These machines have multiple points of injection that are vulnerable everywhere from the server level — where passwords, accesses are posted for the Dark Web for any hacker to get in and access them. And what they can do at the far, far right limit is download csv files, or like an Excel spreadsheet, change the columns, and re-upload them, and that can be done at the server level. At the operator level, if there’s software, it can be corrupted, it can be manipulated with a device that’s as small and simple as a USB device — which these machines are booted up and run off of.
This was in line with statements by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas McInerney, an illustrious retired Air Force officer who served at high levels under the secretary of defense and the vice president.
McInerney claimed that U.S. Special Forces obtained the servers at a raid of a CIA facility in Frankfurt (meaning it was soldiers versus CIA) and that there were casualties during the operation.
The suit goes on to argue that Giuliani worked with Trump supporters and lawyers Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood, and conservative media outlets “determined to promote a false preconceived narrative about the 2020 election.”
It also accuses Giuliani of inciting the storming of the Capitol on January 6.
“Having been deceived by Giuliani and his allies into thinking that they were not criminals — but patriots ‘Defend(ing) the Republic’ from Dominion and its co-conspirators — they then bragged about their involvement in the crime on social media,” the lawsuit says.
Additionally, a group of high-profile lawyers have asked the New York judiciary to suspend Giuliani’s law license for allegedly spreading false claims about the election.
Powell has also been sued by Dominion for $1.3 billion over her election-related claims, such as saying that Dominion was created in Venezuela to rig elections for the late leader Hugo Chávez and that it has the ability to switch votes.
In 2020, Dominion had contracts with 28 states and Puerto Rico. During the 2016 Presidential Election, Dominion’s technology was used in 1,635 jurisdictions in more than two dozen “red” and “blue” states.
The lawsuits against Giuliani and Powell are unseemly; in what world would they or their descendants for a hundred generations have the money to pay $1.3 billion apiece?
This is simply another example of the Deep State grossly using its power and influence to punish those who try to expose its machinations.
