The lawsuit stemmed from Giuliani&#8217;s claims that Dominion rigged the 2020 presidential election to favor Joe Biden,allegations which Dominion described as false and part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dominion-sues-newsmax-oan-for-allegedly-creating-alternate-reality-with-voter-fraud-claims\/\" title=\"... Sues ..., OAN For Allegedly Creating \u2018Alternate Reality\u2019 With Voter Fraud ...\">viral disinformation campaign<\/a>. The settlement includes the dismissal of all claims with prejudice, and both parties will bear thier own legal costs. Dominion filed the suit in 2021 after giuliani continued to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-questions-whether-biden-admin-suppressed-national-archive-statements-in-classified-documents-case\/\" title=\"House GOP Questions Whether Biden Admin Suppressed National Archive Statements in Classified Documents Case\">make unfounded accusations<\/a> despite prior warnings. This settlement follows similar high-profile Dominion lawsuits settled by Fox News and Newsmax for $787.5 million and $67 million, respectively. Giuliani has <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >faced multiple financially damaging legal challenges recently<\/a>,including a $148 million jury verdict against him related to election worker defamation,and was recently ordered to pay over $1.36 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judges-award-steve-bannons-ex-attorney-480000-unpaid-legal-fee\/\" title=\"Steve Bannon&#039;s former ... receives 0,000 in unpaid legal ..., as per judges&#039; decision.\">unpaid legal fees<\/a>. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Rudy Giuliani settles $1.3 billion defamation Dominion lawsuit<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2256732\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former New York City mayor and Trump attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rudy-giuliani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rudy Giuliani <\/a>settled a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit levied against him by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3758177\/newsmax-67-million-dominion-lawsuit-2020-election-lies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dominion Voting Systems<\/a> over his claims about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2020-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020 election.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The company and Giuliani agreed to the &ldquo;dismissal of all claims and causes of action asserted in this matter by Dominion against Giuliani with prejudice.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3827613\/pam-bondi-says-the-weaponization-of-doj-is-over-under-trump\/\">Pam Bondi says the &#8220;weaponization&#8221; of DOJ is over under Trump&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3827183\/trump-comments-surface-comey-defense-strategy\/\">How Trump&#8217;s comments could surface in Comey&#8217;s defense strategy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3826419\/democrats-decry-comey-indictment-praise-trump-cases\/\">Democrats decry Comey indictment after praising cases against Trump: &#8216;No one is above the law&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Each party shall bear its own attorneys&rsquo; fees, expenses, and costs,&rdquo; Dominion&rsquo;s lawyers said in the Friday&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/documents\/bdd1eb82-7963-4414-abb6-7e207848d1ae.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">court filing<\/a>.
