WorldNetDaily’s Bob Unruh touted what he considered good news for his right-wing narrative in a June 24 article:
Dominion Voting Systems, now under new ownership as Liberty Vote Holdings, is dropping all of its claims of defamation against MyPilllow magnate Mike Lindell, whose comments about a possibly stolen election and vote fraud during the 2020 presidential race count infuriated the former owners.
A report at Law & Crime confirmed the parties in the action brought by Dominion have agreed to the “dismissal of all claims and causes of action … with prejudice.”
Each side is to pay its own legal costs but the complaints cannot be raised again in another legal action.
“Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs,” a court filing confirmed.
Dominion earlier settled its claims against Rudy Guiliani, who advised President Donald Trump for a time, under similar conditions: no payments and no liability. But its claim against Fox News, raising similar concerns about statements and their accuracy, resulted in a $787 million settlement to Dominion.
Given that the settlements in both the Lindell and Giuliani cases are confidential, Unruh doesn’t know for sure that they did not make any payments to Dominion. Instead, he rehashed his old claims of election fraud:
The war began following the 2020 president election where there were a number of suspicious election actions, and results. For instance, multiple states stopped counting votes at the same time on election night. Those totals generally had Trump leading the fading Joe Biden.
Then when counting resumed later, sudden and massive dumps of mail-in ballots were counted, often with virtually every one for Biden.
There were videos of activists depositing armloads of ballots at one time. Further, undue influences included Mark Zuckerberg’s handout of some $400 million to election officials to recruit Democrat voters and the FBI’s own interference, when it falsely claimed that information about Biden family scandals found in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden was Russian disinformation.
We’ve documented how Unruh’s claim of election interference by Zuckerberg is largely bogus. And the “videos of activists depositing armloads of ballots at one time” are likely tied to a conspiracy film called “2000 Mules,” which not only has been thoroughly discredited but has been pulled from distribution, and the film’s makers, which include right-winger Dinesh D’Souza, have apologized to a man it falsely accused of making multiple visits to drop boxes. Unruh also failed to mention that Lindell is still on the hook for his lies, as a judge ruled last year that Lindell made false statements about election-tech company Smartmatic.
Unruh went on to huff:
A statement from Lindell TV said investigators had compiled than 800 pages of testimony, “five years of compiled research, court records, sworn testimony, government documents, and technical forensics” in support of its perspective.
“People have been told for years there is ‘no evidence.’ This report does not ask you to trust us. It asks you to read the evidence, check the citations, and decide for yourself.”
Unruh provided no link to Lindell’s purported evidence.
WND has long spun for LIndell as he faced lawsuits for the false claims he has made.
