Dominion demands Sidney Powell retract ‘knowingly baseless and false accusations’ about its voting machines
Attorneys for Dominion Voting Systems have demanded that Sidney Powell retract her “wild, knowingly baseless and false accusations” about the company’s voting machines, arguing that the lawyer’s statements have endangered not only Dominion’s employees and business but also American democracy.
In a 15-page letter sent to Powell on Wednesday, Thomas A. Clare and Megan L. Meier wrote that she had exposed herself and the Trump campaign to potential defamation lawsuits by spouting falsehoods about Dominion as part of a “coordinated media circus and fundraising scheme.”
Powell, who has been soliciting donations to her legal defense fund “for Defending the American Republic,” has made so many false statements in the media and in federal lawsuits that it wouldn’t be practical to enumerate them all, the lawyers wrote. They asked her to immediately retract the most serious ones, including that Dominion machines were used to manipulate votes to ensure Biden’s victory and that the company’s software was originally created to rig elections for Hugo Chávez, the late Venezuelan president.
Powell did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She has targeted Dominion in her many media appearances and four federal lawsuits alleging an international conspiracy to rig the election and seeking to upend Biden’s victory. Judges have rejected all four cases.
A federal judge in Michigan found that the allegation that votes were changed for Biden relied on an “amalgamation of theories, conjecture, and speculation,” while a federal judge in Arizona wrote that allegations “that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court.”
