WASHINGTON Dominion Voting Systems, an election equipment manufacturer that became the target of wild conspiracies pushed by former President Donald Trump and his allies, sued Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for defamation on Monday.
Dominion said in a 107-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that as a result of the defamatory falsehoods peddled by Giuliani in conjunction with other Trump allies and pro-Trump media outlets, Dominions founder and employees have been harassed and received death threats, and Dominion has suffered unprecedented and irreparable harm.
Dominion brings this action to set the record straight, to vindicate the companys rights under civil law, to recover compensatory and punitive damages, and to stand up for itself, its employees, and the electoral process, the lawsuit says.
The company accuses Giuliani, who helped fuel Trumps lie about a stolen election, of making false and defamatory statements about Dominion on his Twitter account, on his radio and podcast shows, in televised media appearances and at the rally that Trump held before his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

but they need to check his offshore accounts.

He also is believed to be under investigation for other potential crimes by the D.O.J. and F.B.I., some of them may be financial too, meaning he could be subject to large fines.

posted the humiliating retractions.
They made reckless statements that go to the heart of Dominion's business model.
Giuliani really has no defense here.
