Former President Donald Trump may yet face a lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems for spreading election fraud claims about the 2020 contest.
Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for the voting company, wouldn’t rule it out when asked Sunday by CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter.
“We have not ruled out any potential defendants who participated in this defamation campaign,” Shackelford said.
Dominion has a growing list of defamation lawsuits after the November election, citing claims about its technology and software that caused “irreparable damage” to the company’s name and reputation.

The company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Trump’s former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, a similar suit against lawyer Sidney Powell, and a $1 billion suit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. In seeking to dismiss the lawsuit against her, Powell argued last week that “no reasonable person would conclude” that her comments about alleged election fraud “were truly statements of fact.”
Like his allies, Trump himself spread election fraud claims about Dominion and, according to a video published on Sunday by TMZ of a wedding at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, is still asserting that something untoward happened in his loss to President Joe Biden more than four months ago.

For now, Shackelford said, Dominion’s legal team remains “focused” on Fox News.
Dominion announced a $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News on Friday. A network spokesperson said Fox News “will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court.”
