Jim Bourg / Reuters fileWASHINGTON — 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, “Dominion’s founder and employees have been harassed and received death threats, and Dominion has suffered unprecedented and irreparable harm.
The company accuses Giuliani, who helped fuel Trump’s 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.
The complaint outlines evidence of Giuliani’s false claims about how Dominion allegedly “fixed” the election, which resulted in Trump’s defeat and Joe Biden’s victory. It includes screenshots from Giuliani’s TV appearances on Fox News and Fox Business and his tweets that spread conspiracy theories about the election.
Dominion seeks more than $1.3 billion in damages, according to the complaint, which was first reported by The New York Times., who pushed Trump’s attempts to overturn election results, for defamation earlier this month. In that lawsuit, Dominion also said it was requesting damages of more than $1.3 billion, saying it has spent millions on security for its employees and on damage control to its reputation and risks losing future business.
It’s a shame for Trump campaign to fabricate rumors
Government people such as him should be sent Home not allowed in the White House
Good, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
Are they afraid of Fox News?
sword of Damocles is now being swung.
When does the state of Georgia sue?
CharlesMBlow Dominion is basically in the lawsuit business at this point. No governmental body in any red or purple state will ever accept a bid from them again thanks to the Elite Strike Force's slander campaign.

I knew Giuliani would get left holding the bag for trump!! Just like Cohen!! Doesn't matter the loyalty, its just how trump works! When will they ever learn!?!?
Spoiler alert. Rudy Giuliani is guilty.
GOOD!
I hope that they get his hair dye too
I bet Rudy has dripped a puddle of hair gel after hearing this news.
Drippy has his days counted
He’d better sell a lot more cigars
He's part of the 'only hire the best' crowd..he can represent himself. 😂 And hold press conferences at landscaping companies.. 🙄 crashandburnMF
Awesome
قطر کے معاشی بائیکاٹ کا خاتمہ ۔۔۔ محمد بن سلمان کا نئے امریکی صدر کو تحفہ؟ 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
Perfect ... but it's unbelievable, they make this joke that nobody believes anyway for Trump and are now being sued in the billions and Trump laughs and plays golf ...... when will Trump, who brought this idiocy into life, be sued? 😅
Good! Take every penny he has! Trial by combat, right Rudy?
Excellent
Only Rudy? He’s a puppet
Justice is served ! I hope they get all of what they are suing him for!
Awesome! Sue him for every last penny he's worth (which won't be many, but it'll still be fun to watch!)
Pass your CCNA with Sara.
I bet his wishes Trump would have paid him now! LOL
Long overdue
Good, I hope they get every cent.
Damages? LOL
Good! Get his goofy ass!
Good for them. Teach these liars to shut up unless you speak the truth. Enough lies already.
Do d!ckstain Nazi clown next.
Please let JudgeJudy hear this case.
hahahaha
Hope Sidney Powell and Fruity Giuliani declare bankruptcy soon. Way to go, Dominion.
Bury his ass.
Love it!
These people tried to steal 'MY' vote. As an American citizen, isn't my vote the most valuable thing I own? Legal or not, it can be bought & sold. It has a monetary value. How valuable is a vote & can I sue the would-be thieves?
Giuliani is your basic CREEP
But you know they don’t care because they made 1 billion doing it they write it off as the cost of doing business
Great news! just what Giuliani wants, a trial by combat. Hope Trump won't abandon you this time Rudy
Just a Beginning!
Nice. They'll win the case.
ohhhh poor Rudy. It bet on the wrong horse.
isn't it ironic that alllll those millions donated by Trump supporters to 'stop the steal' are going to end up in Dominion's pockets?
Morning_Joe Good maybe trump can help him pay it .
Morning_Joe LockHimUp
If this is what it takes to force the issue out into the open. Bring it on!
There are a couple new congressional folks that need to feel this too.
Morning_Joe Morning Joe is almost impossible to watch in this nee commercial format. My god that repeat half hour seen in the Midwest in full of commercials - it’s ridiculous.
So less hair dye for him?
He needs to be arrested for insurrection!!!
The table has turned. Giuliani is going to pay sombody, even if it's another lawyer.
Guess he won't be able to afford hair dye anymore.
Oh boy! Dominion just opened itself up to intense scrutiny. When the machines are found to be manipulated, then Rudy will be INNOCENT!
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Will Rudy Giuliani hire the lawyer who's law firm he hired for Ukraine? Current Rittenhouse fundraiser John Pierce? Pierce has severe issues. 🔥2-min vid🔥 by sulkess 'Who is John Pierce?' 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐩🔊 Rudy!
Dominion! $1.3B! Rudy Giuliani. Lin Wood was one of 1st ppl talking Dominion. Rudy's ex-lawyer for Ukraine was on a Board w/ Wood. Rudy said Trial by Combat. His ex lawyer said War is Coming. Lin 'Execution' Wood. 🔥90-sec vid🔥 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐩🔊
Here we go. Now they will find out the consequences of trying to reverse the result of free and fair election!
I look forward to discovery.
America's mayor is now America's clown
Rudy, false election claims? My Q, how is it possible?
After all the damage Rudy Giuliani had done to this country, I hope Dominion Voting Systems ruin him beyond recognition.
👍
I guess since the Republicans wouldn’t hold him accountable Dominon will
Trump also actively spread this lie. When their sue him?
GET HIM GOOD
Good Morning! It's gonna be a great day. 😃 2nd source that I've seen this story. Made me smile big every time.
Oh. This is going to be good!
Ok you know they’re coming for Trump too.
It's beyond pathetic the lame ass bulls**t that DominionVotingSystems is not only claiming Defamation, death threats etc but the fact they 'still' are doing their BS lawsuits to try and block the FBI Audits of their systems. 🤣 If they'd nothing to hide they wouldn't be BS'ing
Take him for everything he’s got! Even the hair dye!
Now it will all finally come out in court
Yes!!
I still can't believe this guy was on the spotlight, sweating shoe shine on live TV.
