Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, MyPillow CEO due in court over election lawsuits

Three of former President Trump's allies who pushed false claims of a stolen election are scheduled to appear in court as part of three defamation lawsuits against them.

As Republicans around the country continue to rally around false claims of fraud in the 2020 election, three of former President Donald Trump's closest allies who helped push those false claims are scheduled to appear in court today for the first time as part of three defamation lawsuits filed against them. Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, former Trump legal team member Sidney Powell, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell are scheduled to appear in court in Washington, D.C., for a hearing in the billion-dollar defamation lawsuits brought by Dominion Voting Systems, the voting machine company at the center of numerous conspiracy theories related to the election. All three have filed motions asking a judge to throw out Dominion's suits against them, which Dominion has opposed. Thursday's hearing is set to hear arguments on the issue. The hearing comes as many Trump supporters across the country have reignited their push to challenge the results of the 2020 election -- and as both parties continue to battle over voting reforms.
