(TJVNEWS) Voting software company Smartmatic has filed a $2.7 billion libel suit against Fox News, three Fox hosts – Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Jeanine Pirro – as well as lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell over what the firm claims are knowingly false claims about former President Donald Trump’s election loss, CNBC reports. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of executing a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at convincing the public of rampant election fraud.
The suit accuses the defendants of falsely saying or implying that Smartmatic’s election technology and software was comprised or hacked during the 2020 election, among other false claims.
Smartmatic scoffed at Trump’s claims that there was widespread fraud and manipulation of voting machines that led to an undercount of Trump votes and an overcount of ballots for Biden. The company’s attorneys said they have counted “dozens” of references to what they describe as the smear campaign on Fox News. That these claims were made repeatedly and echoed by the channel’s news staff is evidence that Fox News was actively plotting with Giuliani and Powell to disseminate the conspiracy, said Smartmatic’s attorney J. Erik Connolly.
