US EditionGiuliani settles $1.3 billion Dominion defamation lawsuit
The confidential settlement ends a four-year legal battle over false 2020 election fraud claims, following Dominion's $787 million Fox News settlement and multiple lawsuits against Trump allies.
- On September 27, 2025, Rudy Giuliani reached a settlement in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.3 billion lawsuit filed in 2021, with court filings in Washington, D.C., on Friday showing the case will be permanently dismissed.
- Dominion said it sued because Rudy Giuliani falsely accused its machines of flipping votes to Joe Biden, spreading those claims on social media and conservative news outlets after warning him in December 2020.
- Repeatedly, Rudy Giuliani aired the claims more than 50 times on television, interviews and coordinated efforts, and Dominion Voting Systems said the falsehoods harmed its reputation, endangered employees and forced executives into hiding.
- The filing says the settlement is confidential and terms are undisclosed, with each party bearing its own attorneys' fees, expenses and costs, Friday's court documents state.
- This settlement comes after Dominion's large agreements with Fox News and Newsmax and a recent Sidney Powell deal, while Rudy Giuliani faces a $148 million Georgia verdict, disbarments, and bankruptcy.
