Giuliani and Powell pushed election fraud so they could hobnob in DC, Dominion Voting Systems argues in court
CNN
Dominion Voting Systems on Thursday accused right-wing lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani of coming to Washington, DC, to push election fraud claims in late 2020 because they wanted to rub elbows with nationally powerful Republicans, including then-President Donald Trump.
"That's the place they could get in-person audiences," Dominion attorney Megan Meier said in court Thursday. Washington was "the place where Powell could become a household name." Dominion's claim was one of the more sensational allegations during a largely technical legal argument that lasted four hours in DC's federal courthouse on Thursday. The hearing came as part of a trio of major defamation lawsuits from the company, after right-wing media pummeled it for President Joe Biden's election win in November.President Joe Biden on Sunday delivers his first commencement address of the 2024 season at Morehouse College, where the president may for the first time in months have to confront the angst that’s been percolating on college campuses nationwide toward his administration’s policies on the Israel-Hamas war.
