KEY POINTS
Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems signaled Friday that they might file lawsuits against specific Fox News personalities.
The comments came just hours after the company announced a defamation suit against Fox for allegedly spreading lies about Dominion rigging the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump.
Dominion has already filed separate federal lawsuits against former President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the attorney Sidney Powell and the pro-Trump CEO of MyPillow, Mike Lindell.
Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems, just after announcing a lawsuit against Fox News for allegedly spreading defamatory lies about the company, signaled Friday that they might file additional suits against specific Fox personalities.
“We have not ruled out any parties, including individual agents of Fox News that we referenced in the lawsuit,” said Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for Dominion’s case against Fox and a partner at trial firm Susman Godfrey, on a conference call with reporters.
He gave a similar answer when asked specifically about Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo, both of whom are prominently featured in Dominion’s suit against Fox.
“We haven’t ruled out suing those individual agents,” Shackelford said, but “ultimately though, the buck stops with Fox.”
