Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Fox News have August date confirmed for court bid to dismiss
$2.7 billion Smartmatic lawsuit
A New York Supreme Court on August 17 will hear arguments from Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Fox Corporation in their bid for the dismissal of a $2.7 billion defamation case brought by Smartmatic.
The election-technology company said in its February complaint that the defendants - including Fox News and hosts Jeanine Pirro, Maria Bartiromo, and Lou Dobbs - spread disinformation about the November 2020 presidential election.
The arguments are set for 9:30 a.m. in front of Judge David Benjamin Cohen, according to the court.
Giuliani and Powell, lawyers for President Donald Trump, appeared on Fox News following the election to say the election had been rigged by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems.
The pair "needed to identify a villain" to make their story about election fraud work, Smartmatic said in its complaint.
