The company seeks more than $1.3 billion in damages. In the extraordinarily detailed lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington on Friday, the company outlined Powell's TV appearances and online posts -- including when she repeated her unfounded beliefs that Dominion was linked to communist Venezuela and Georgia officials were in on election fraud -- and how those were amplified by President Donald Trump and his supporters online. "Emboldened by Trump's endorsement of her false accusations, which launched her into political superstardom, Powell's defamatory media campaign continued and intensified" with her media appearances, the lawsuit says. Tom Clare, a lawyer for Dominion, said on Friday that "we have not ruled anyone out" when asked if the company was considering suing Trump or news outlets that had amplified the claims. The company is "looking very deliberately at the statements and actions of everyone who has been involved in talking about Dominion" as it plans to name additional defendants and file more lawsuits over false election-fraud claims in the coming weeks, Clare said. "There are a number of individuals and media companies that we think are complicit. They said them in their own voice, in their own personalities and in print, and they provided a platform for Powell," Clare added during a media briefing on Friday." [/QUOTE]
