Call it the revenge of the voting machines: Smartmatic Corp. has joined Dominion Voting Systems Inc. in seeking billions of dollars in damages from supporters of former President Donald Trump who have claimed voter fraud.
Florida-based Smartmatic filed a defamation suit Thursday against Fox News, some of its better-known news employees and two attorneys close to Trump, Sidney Powell and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The lawsuit, which seeks $2.7 billion in damages, accuses them of executing a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at convincing the public of rampant election fraud.
