Fox News called the lawsuit &quot;baseless&quot; and moved to dismiss it. <\/li>\n<li>The voting-machine company also filed a suit against Rudy Giuliani seeking $1.3 billion in damages for his &quot;demonstrably false\u201d allegations about the company&#x27;s voting machines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2021\/08\/10\/dominion-voting-systems-sues-oann-newsmax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founder and CEO of Overstock.com Patrick Byrne attends Consensus 2019 at the Hilton Midtown on May 15, 2019 in New York City.
