Giuliani’s Messages With Fox Sought by Dominion in Election Suit

(Bloomberg) -- Rudy Giuliani, already being sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems Inc. over his debunked election-conspiracy claims, has been issued a subpoena in a similar lawsuit the company filed against Fox News Network.

The former New York mayor and Donald Trump's personal lawyer was asked to hand over all documents stemming from his appearances on Fox starting in 2016 as well as all communications with the network related to the 2020 presidential election and Dominion, according to a June 28 filing in state court in Delaware.

The subpoena also seeks Giuliani's communications concerning the “truth or falsity” of the claims he made about Dominion while appearing on Fox, plus documents about the nature of his relationship with the network, “whether formal or informal, compensated or uncompensated.”

Giuliani is fighting to dismiss the defamation suit filed against him by Dominion in Washington, as are former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell and MyPillow Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mike Lindell. All three repeatedly claimed without evidence that Dominion and its employees were at the center of a plot to flip millions of votes away from Trump, with help from foreign hackers, corrupt Democrats and “communist money.”

Powell and Lindell also received similar subpoenas from Dominion, with a deadline of July 25, according to the filing. Messages seeking comment from Giuliani, Powell and Lindell weren't immediately returned. All three have denied wrongdoing, as has Fox, which has moved to dismiss the suit.
