Overview
- The parties filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday to dismiss the case with prejudice, with each side covering its own attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs.
- Settlement terms were not disclosed, ending litigation Dominion began in January 2021 over what it called Giuliani’s defamatory falsehoods about election rigging.
- Dominion said the agreement is confidential, and the filing formally ends the suit tied to Giuliani’s public statements, media appearances, social posts, and podcasts after the 2020 election.
- The resolution comes days after Dominion reached a similar confidential settlement with Sidney Powell and follows earlier payouts that included Fox News’ $787.5 million and Newsmax’s $67 million.
- Giuliani’s post‑election conduct has brought other setbacks, including an order to pay $1.36 million in unpaid legal fees, disbarment in New York and Washington, and a separate defamation case with Georgia election workers that concluded in a settlement after a $148 million verdict.
