Dominion settles $1.3B defamation suit with Giuliani
Dominion Voting Systems and Rudy Giuliani have reached a confidential settlement that will permanently dismiss Dominion's $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit, according to a filing in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday. Dominion sued Giuliani in 2021 over his repeated false claims that the company rigged the 2020 election; the settlement ends that litigation between the Colorado-based voting-machine maker and the former New York mayor, though terms are not disclosed.
