Dominion subpoenas Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Mike Lindell in its $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News
  • Dominion subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Mike Lindell in its lawsuit against Fox News.
  • It sued Fox in March, saying it had helped spread conspiracy theories about its voting machines.
  • Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell now have to submit documents related to their involvement with Fox.

The voting-machine company Dominion Voting Systems subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell in its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

They now have to hand over documents related to their involvement with the news network, $4.

Dominion had $4 over their roles in spreading the debunked conspiracy theory that its voting machines "flipped" votes from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 election.

Dominion $4 on March 26, alleging that the network had given prominence to the election-fraud conspiracy theory to revive its ratings. Fox News has consistently denied this claim and said it is "proud of our 2020 election coverage."

As part of that lawsuit, Dominion subpoenaed Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell on Monday, a $4 showed.

The subpoena asked Giuliani, a former New York mayor who served as Trump's personal lawyer, to hand over all documents related to his appearances on Fox since 2016 and all communications with the network related to both the 2020 presidential election and Dominion, Bloomberg reported.

The subpoena also asked for Giuliani to provide documents about the nature of his relationship with the network, "whether formal or informal, compensated or uncompensated," the report said.

Dominion sent similar subpoenas to Lindell and Powell, a pro-Trump attorney. They have until July 25 to comply, Bloomberg reported, citing the filing.

Fox News, Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Dominion's lawsuit against Fox News is its biggest yet

Dominion $4 against Powell and Giuliani in January and against Lindell in February.

In its lawsuits against $4 and $4, Dominion included numerous examples of them making their election-fraud claims in right-wing media, including Fox News, without pushback from hosts.

The $4 in March is its biggest yet.

Dominion said the network "sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process."

In a statement in March, Fox News said: "Fox News Media is proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism." It said it would defend itself against the lawsuits in court.

The voting-machine company $4 in February.

A Fox News representative $4 that the network had run several "fact-check" segments "prior to any lawsuit chatter."

$4 have asked for the lawsuits to be dismissed.
