Dominion and Rudy Giuliani Settle $1.3 Billion Defamation Case, Lawsuit Dismissed

Court papers show a dismissal with prejudice, with each side responsible for its own legal costs.

Overview

  • The parties filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., to permanently dismiss the case after reaching a confidential agreement.
  • Settlement terms were not disclosed, leaving any financial payment unknown to the public.
  • Dominion sued Giuliani in January 2021 over repeated false claims that its machines rigged the 2020 election.
  • The resolution follows other Dominion wins, including a $787.5 million settlement with Fox News and a $67 million deal with Newsmax, plus a recent settlement with Sidney Powell.
  • Giuliani continues to face legal and financial fallout from post‑election actions, including disbarments, bankruptcy proceedings, a $148 million defamation judgment later settled, and a recent $1.36 million fee order.
