The 107-page lawsuit filed in the Federal District Court in Washington seeks damages of over $1.3 billion, and is based on over 50 statements made by Giuliani at legislative hearings, on Twitter, in the conservative news media, and on his podcast, where he accused Dominion of participating in a plot to flip votes to Joe Biden.<\/p>\n Mr. Giuliani, one of Mr. Trump\u2019s closest advisers and confidants, has faced continuing fallout for his highly visible efforts to reverse the election outcome. This month, the chairman of the New York State Senate\u2019s judiciary committee\u00a0formally requested<\/a>\u00a0that the state court system\u00a0strip Mr. Giuliani of his law license<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n Taken together with a lawsuit the company\u00a0filed this month against Sidney Powell<\/a>, another lawyer who was allied with Mr. Trump,\u00a0the suit represents a point-by-point rebuke<\/strong>\u00a0of one of the more outlandish conspiracy theories surrounding last year\u2019s election. The president\u2019s allies had contended that the voting machine company \u2014 which was also used in states during Mr. Trump\u2019s victory in the 2016 election, has been tested by government agencies, and was used in states Mr. Trump carried in 2020 \u2014 was somehow involved in a rigged election, partly as a result of ties to a long-deceased Venezuelan dictator. –New York Times<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n “Dominion was not founded in Venezuela to fix elections for Hugo Cha\u0301vez,” reads the suit. “It was founded in 2002 in John Poulos\u2019s basement in Toronto to help blind people vote on paper ballots.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/image_17.jpg?itok=UzfhhP9a\")
