Indicted RNC 'election integrity' official accused of dodging deposition in 2020 election defamation case
CNN — Christina Bobb, the indicted RNC official and former One America News host, is dodging a deposition in a 2020-related defamation lawsuit, according to Dominion Voting Systems, which is battling her in court.
Bobb’s attorneys previously argued that the Dominion defamation lawsuit, and the routine deposition they are seeking, should be paused in the wake of her indictment in Arizona on charges related to her role in the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot. She denies wrongdoing in both cases.
Lawyers for Dominion told a judge Monday that the defamation case should move forward and that they can tailor document requests and deposition questions to steer clear of the specific Arizona allegations.
“Any deposition of Ms. Bobb, could and likely would impair Ms. Bobb’s Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, extend criminal discovery beyond the limits set forth by Arizona law, potentially expose Ms. Bobb’s theory to the prosecution in advance of trial, and otherwise prejudice her criminal case,” Bobb’s criminal attorney in the Arizona case, Thomas Jacobs, said in a past court filing.
