Dominion Voting Systems May File Defamation Lawsuits


In a flurry of Letters this week, Attorneys for Dominion Voting Systems signaled that the Company may Sue several Conservative Media Outlets, and Allies of Trump, and Trump, for Defamation over their Unfounded Allegations that the Company was involved in Election Fraud.

Dominion’s Lawyers have demanded Retractions from Fox News, Newsmax, and One America News Network (OAN) for Airing Baseless Conspiracy Theories alleging that Dominion’s Vote Count System was used to Rig the November 2020 Presidential Election.

“This disinformation campaign against Dominion has caused the company permanent and irreparable damages which are exacerbated by your ongoing refusal to retract,” reads One of the Letters, a Dec. 22nd missive to Newsmax, from Dominion’s Attorneys, Thomas Clare and Megan Meier.

Earlier this week, Fox News and Newsmax aired Segments Rebutting some of the Claims they aired after Dominion and a Second Election System’s Company, Smartmatic, made initial Legal Threats. But Dominion, in more than 20 Letters sent on Dec. 22nd, signaled its Intent to Sue for Defamation by Demanding that the Outlets and some of the People interviewed, including Trump’s Personal Lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and an Allied Attorney, Sidney Powell, Preserve All Records related to Dominion.

“This week, Dominion Voting Systems issued a series of letters to the Office of the President, Rudy Giuliani, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Newsmax, OAN, Fox News, Epoch times, Russ Ramsland, Lin Wood, and others, giving Legal Notice that litigation on Dominion's defamation claims is imminent,” Spokeswoman, Alexa Green, wrote in an Email on Thursday.

“The letters formally demand they cease and desist making defamatory claims against Dominion, and preserve and retain all documents relating to Dominion,” she wrote.

In a Statement, Newsmax Defended its Coverage in part by saying that while it Aired some Allegations Powell made about Dominion's Election systems, it never Verified her Statements. "Newsmax merely aired a show on which Ms. Powell’s allegations were presented and never suggested that there was evidence to support her allegations," the Outlet said. "Given the public interest, Newsmax has offered news coverage of claims made by President Trump, his lawyers and allegations made in legal documents filed in the election case."

Fox News, on Thursday, pointed to Two Segments it aired in November, including an Interview with a Dominion Spokesman and a Tucker Carlson Monologue about Sidney Powell.

OAN has also Pushed Back against Dominion's Legal Threats.
