**Dominion Settles $1.3B Defamation Case with Rudy Giuliani** Dominion Voting Systems has reached a confidential settlement in its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani. The lawsuit stemmed from Giuliani's false claims regarding the company's role in the 2020 presidential election. This settlement follows a similar agreement with another former Trump attorney, Sidney Powell, just days earlier.

A spokesperson for Dominion confirmed the settlement, stating, "The Parties have agreed to a confidential settlement to this matter." A recent court filing indicated that both parties are seeking a voluntary dismissal of the case. The filing also noted that "each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs."

This resolution concludes a legal battle that began in January 2021 when Dominion first filed the lawsuit against Giuliani. The company accused him of spreading defamatory falsehoods about its voting machines, which he allegedly did to profit from legal fees and his podcast.

Giuliani's attorney did not respond to requests for comment regarding the settlement. In addition to Giuliani, Dominion also filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Sidney Powell, accusing her of promoting false election theories that gained traction with former President Donald Trump. A recent court filing in Powell's case also indicated that the parties are seeking a voluntary dismissal, suggesting a similar settlement.

Powell, a former federal prosecutor, became a close adviser to Trump during the final days of his presidency. She was involved in efforts to overturn the election results, which Trump lost by over 7 million votes. Attorneys representing Powell have not commented on the recent developments in her case.

The settlements mark a significant moment in the ongoing legal disputes surrounding the 2020 election and the claims made by various individuals associated with Trump.
