Giuliani, Dominion Settle $1.3 Billion Defamation Case With Dismissal With Prejudice

The confidential resolution ends a marquee civil case in Dominion’s post‑election legal campaign.

Overview

  • A federal court filing in Washington on Friday says the case is permanently dismissed and that each side will cover its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
  • The filing does not disclose financial terms, leaving unclear whether Giuliani will make any payment.
  • Dominion sued in 2021, alleging Giuliani spread false claims that its systems rigged the 2020 election through media appearances, social posts, and legislative hearings.
  • Giuliani continues to face other legal exposure, including a recent New York order to pay about $1.36 million to a former law firm and criminal charges in Georgia.
  • Dominion’s broader effort included a $787 million settlement with Fox News in 2023, while Giuliani separately reached an undisclosed settlement in January after a $148 million judgment won by two Georgia election workers.
