特朗普的私人律师官司缠身
一份法院文件显示，鲁迪·朱利安尼请求驳回Dominion Voting Systems Inc.公司对其的密集指控，即他的选举舞弊说法对该公司造成了重大经济损失，并要求该公司撤销对其索赔13亿美元的诽谤诉讼。
朱利安尼被指在播客上多次散布虚假指控，故意误导选民。他在请求驳回起诉的动议中辩称，Dominion Voting Systems公司未列出其因为自己的言论而产生的具体损失却索赔过高的行为不当。朱利安尼此前声称，该公司的投票系统操纵了选票结果，让民主党总统候选人乔·拜登在2020年美国总统大选中窃取了前总统唐纳德·特朗普的胜利。
Dominion Voting Systems公司表示，纽约市前市长“病毒式造谣”的行为给该公司带来的负面影响显而易见：它“破坏”了公司这项价值高达5亿美元业务的转售价值，迫使其支出了50多万美元员工安保费用。公司预计，未来五年将损失多达2亿美元的利润。并且由于一些州因为该言论而不愿意使用Dominion Voting Systems的投票机，其还严重阻碍了公司在这些州的业务扩张进程。
“这些只是原告诉状里的具体指控的几个例子。”总部位于丹佛的Dominion Voting Systems公司在文件中指出。“自起诉以来，原告因为朱利安尼的行为而蒙受的损失变得越来越详细具体，并且确实有所增加。”
朱利安尼方面负责此案的律师约瑟夫·西布利对该文件不予置评。（财富中文网）

Rudy Giuliani’s request to toss out a $1.3 billion defamation suit filed against him by Dominion Voting Systems Inc. ignores extensive allegations that his election fraud statements caused serious financial damage to the voting machine company, according to a court filing.
Giuliani, accused of exploiting unsupported election claims to hawk gold coins, cigars and nutrition supplements on a podcast, argued in a motion to dismiss the suit that the company improperly sought “exorbitant” damages without identifying any harm it suffered from his public comments. Giuliani made claims that software used by Dominion machines changed votes while representing former president Donald Trump in his failed effort to reverse the 2020 election result.
Dominion said the impact of the former New York mayor’s “viral disinformation campaign” was clear: it “destroyed” the resale value of a business that had been worth as much as $500 million and forced Dominion to spend more than $500,000 on security for employees. The claims are projected to result in lost profits of $200 million over the next five years and to upend Dominion’s business in states that are now balking at using its machines, the company said.
“These are just a few exemplars of the detailed allegations plaintiffs set forth in their complaint,” Denver-based Dominion said in the filing. “The losses plaintiffs have suffered as a result of Giuliani’s conduct become more specific over time and indeed have grown since the complaint was filed.”
Giuliani’s lawyer on the case, Joseph Sibley, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment on the filing.
