Dominion has filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who has been fighting election fraud, Gateway Expert reported on January 8. The company’s lawyers also said they are “still weighing whether to Sue Mr. Trump.”
The lawsuit alleges that President Trump’s use of his Twitter account to “share Powell’s video with over 88 million followers caused irreparable damage to Dominion’s reputation and business, to its users worldwide, and put the lives of Dominion employees at risk.”
Powell has been trying to prove that Dominion falsified the results of the 2020 presidential election. She has filed four federal lawsuits over the stolen election.
The company’s 124-page defamation lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington on Friday, has nearly 2,000 more pages of evidence.
The voting technology company said the claim was based on a figure of $1.3 billion that combined the value of the contracts at risk because of the misinformation, punitive damages from her lawsuit, and recovery of legal costs against her.

A lawyer for Dominion held a news conference on Friday, calling the allegations against them “false.”
“These false allegations have caused catastrophic losses to the company and mark the conduct of a massive fraud,” Dominion attorney Tom Clare said in a Zoom press release. The allegations sparked a media storm that spread these false claims to a global audience, destroyed the value of its once-booming business and put Dominion’s multi-year contracts in jeopardy.”
The lawyer also said they would file a lawsuit against their technicians and “the media that provided them with the platform.”
To win, Dominion would have to show that Powell acted with “subjective malice,” rather than actually believing that they helped rig the election against the president.
