Dominion lawyer: We haven't ruled out suing Trump, other media outlets

A lawyer for Dominion Voting Systems said Monday that the voting systems company has not ruled out pursuing lawsuits against former President Trump and other media outlets after filing a $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News.

Attorney Tom Clare told the “Axios Re:Cap” podcast that Dominion is “following the evidence where it goes,” noting it would be a “reasonable assumption” that more charges could come once discovery begins and the team has access to more documents. 

“We’re gonna have a chance to really peek behind the curtain of understanding the people’s roles, and that would include the president and the White House and the campaign,” Clare said. “And if the evidence leads us to believe that we’ve got strong claims, that’s something we’re gonna take a look at.” 

Dominion’s lawyer noted that discovery will last “several years” but said he doesn’t think “we’re going to wait that long to make some of these determinations.”

“But once we feel like we got enough evidence, whether it’s the president or other individuals, we’re going to proceed expeditiously,” he said.

Clare confirmed on the podcast that Dominion is considering filing lawsuits against other media outlets that the company said helped advance the debunked conspiracy theory. He did not specifically identify any of these media outlets but said it was a “fair assumption” lawsuits against media outlets were coming. 

“We’re looking at other media outlets, and making sure we can meet all of the elements of defamation,” he said. “There were other outlets that played a similar role to Fox in spreading these lies. I expect that we’re going to be holding them accountable as well.”

    Yes, please sue Trump. Probably won’t get anything since Trump is all but broke and what money he has raised and is continuing to raise has likely already been spent. But anything that causes Trump sleepless nights will make me very happy.
