How a Dominion Lawyer Became the Latest Battle in the Trump-DeSantis War

[Zorro]

Trumpworld’s newest problem with Ron DeSantis centers on the Florida governor inviting a Dominion Voting Systems lawyer onto a weird panel and praising her.

The feud between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis—quietly simmering for months—suddenly burst into the open this week with an all-out attack by MAGAworld on the Florida governor.

And the reason why was unexpected: DeSantis aligning himself with a Dominion voting machines lawyer.

On Tuesday morning, DeSantis convened a roundtable in Miami focusing on what his office called “the damaging impacts of defamation from the legacy media.” Seated among the conservative panelists was Elizabeth “Libby” Locke, an attorney who has taken up litigation on behalf of clients like Sarah Palin and the James O’Keefe group Project Veritas against The New York Times.

DeSantis said Locke was “an extraordinaire when it comes to First Amendment defamation.” What he didn’t say is that Locke is now representing Dominion Voting Systems, which is currently suing key Trumpworld figures—like Rudy Giuliani and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell—for pushing bogus claims that the company’s technology somehow stole the 2020 election from Trump.

In a GOP where Trump’s election fraud lies and 2020 obsession still hold sway, DeSantis’ promotion of the lawyer for one of the ex-president’s top public enemies sent Trumpworld into a frenzy.
