A memo shows that the Trump campaign found there was no evidence to support the conspiracy theory claiming that a voting machine company worked with an election software firm, a financier and Venezuela to steal the presidential contest from Trump.

Sidney Powell, one of a team of lawyers allied with then-President Donald Trump, walks to join Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, at a news conference at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in Washington on Nov. 19, 2020.

Even though the memo was hastily assembled, it rebutted a series of allegations that Powell and others were making in public. It found:— That Dominion did not use voting technology from the software company, Smartmatic, in the 2020 election.— And that there was no evidence that Dominion’s leadership had connections to left-wing “antifa” activists, as Powell and others had claimed.

“The Trump campaign continued to allow its agents,” the motion says, “to advance debunked conspiracy theories and defame” Coomer, “apparently without providing them with their own research debunking those theories.” Powell and Giuliani did not respond to messages seeking comment on the documents. Representatives for Trump also did not respond to emails seeking comment.

“They wanted Trump to lose because they could raise more money,” Giuliani was quoted as saying in the deposition.
