EXCLUSIVE: Dominion sends letters threatening defamation lawsuits to Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, and other pro-Trump media figures

[Superbadbrutha]

• Dominion Voting Systems has sent letters to Fox News, Newsmax, and One America News, warning of a defamation lawsuit.
• The voting firm is at the center of a false right-wing conspiracy theory it manipulated the results of the 2020 presidential election.
• The letters, dated December 22, warn the recipients to preserve documents and copies of correspondences related to Dominion.
• Tom Clare, an attorney representing Dominion, told Insider it had "no choice" but to pursue legal action given how widely the false conspiracy theory about the company has spread.
• He said the walk-backs from Fox News and Newsmax about Smartmatic, a rival voting technology company, weren't good enough.

Dominion Voting Systems has sent letters to Fox News, as well as the right-wing media outlets Newsmax and One America News, warning it may sue over the baseless conspiracy theory that the election technology company manipulated the results of the 2020 presidential election.


Dominion has also sent letters to individual hosts and right-wing media figures, including Fox News's Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, and Maria Bartiromo, as well as Rush Limbaugh and Newsmax host Greg Kelly. The letters have been reviewed by Insider.

"We write regarding patently false accusations that Dominion has somehow rigged or otherwise improperly influenced the recent U.S. Presidential election - accusations that you have featured on your programming and that you yourself have also echoed," the letter to Hannity reads.

It demands that he "cease and desist making defamatory claims against Dominion" and "retain all documents relating to Dominion and your smear campaign against the company" and warns that "litigation regarding these issues is imminent." The other letters feature similar language.

Good luck, folks. The alternate universe has created fantasies for long enough.

Defamation is existing statute.

So now the media can use the discovery process to get all of the info that Dominion has been hiding, right?????

The defense lawyers will, but not the public ... the only information that will be released is that which pertains to the defense of these charges ... Dominion knows this, and still they're threatening to file ...

This is an uphill road for Dominion ... but if they think their operations were tight and trustworthy ... and can prove it in a public court setting ... these media outlets are going to be paying big time ...

So Dominion and their lawyers want to now quash the 1st Amendment?

I know Trump has never sued somebody for saying something negative about him.

Lol..... That's why it will never get past the threat stage. So far Dominion has managed to keep their system from being analyzed over claims of proprietary ownership.
But that will all go out the window in a lawsuit.

Again, as had been said ad nauseum on this board, the 1st Amendment is not a blanket protection against the consequences of saying just anything you want.
There are limits. If you've defamed or slandered without evidence to back it up...you can be held accountable.
