After suing Fox News for $1.6 billion, Dominion says it could file lawsuits against other media outlets and even Trump

Dominion Voting Systems has already filed four defamation lawsuits, including one against Fox News, over baseless claims that its machines helped rig the 2020 US election, and one of the company's attorneys says other media outlets could be next. It could also sue individual Fox News employees, and the company hasn't ruled out suing former President Donald Trump, the attorney, Tom Clare, told Axios on Monday. On Friday, Dominion filed a lawsuit against Fox News, claiming the network gave prominence to the election-fraud claims as a tactic to revive its ratings. Fox News told Insider that it was "proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court." Clare told Axios that other outlets "played a similar role to Fox in spreading these lies" and that it was "a fair assumption" that Dominion would sue other media outlets. He didn't name any of them. "We're trying to get to the media outlets that really gave this a much bigger platform," he said. "I expect that we're going to be holding them accountable as well." He said Dominion's lawyers were still looking into the evidence. "This is not one of those cases where we're going to fire first and aim later," he said.

Since January, Dominion has also filed lawsuits against the pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, accusing them of helping spread the conspiracy theory. It is seeking $1.3 billion damages in each suit. Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in its Fox News suit. Dominion's lawsuit was just against Fox News. Its fellow voting-technology company Smartmatic, which has also been baselessly accused of "flipping" votes, named the Fox News hosts Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Jeanine Pirro as defendants in its lawsuit against the network. Clare said Dominion hadn't ruled out suing individual Fox News personalities and could join these cases to the larger Fox News one or file separate cases. He added, however, that he considered Fox News to be "the entity with the megaphone." When asked whether Dominion would file a suit against Trump, Clare said: "We haven't ruled anyone out." He said that Dominion's lawyers would look into the role that the president and the White House played in spreading the conspiracy theory. "If the evidence leads us to believe that we've got strong claims," he said, "that's something we're going to look at."



Cover all the bases. File lawsuits against Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Powell, Giuliani, Liddell, Pirro, Bartiromo, Dobbs, Breitbart, Newsmax, and OANN.
 
But they must be terrified of discovery, or so I have been told.... :ROFLMAO:
