Ex-Trump Campaign Lawyer Powell Sues Voting Firm for Suing Her

(Bloomberg) -- Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell sued the voting-technology company she falsely accused of rigging the 2020 presidential election, accusing it of trashing her reputation by taking her to court.

Powell, in a series of counterclaims filed late Friday against Dominion Voting Systems Inc., claimed the company’s earlier $1.3 billion defamation suit against her was a “ludicrous” abuse of the legal system intended to intimidate her for speaking out. She’s seeking at least $10 million in damages.

The Texas-based lawyer is the architect of a debunked conspiracy theory that Dominion worked with corrupt election workers, communists and foreign hackers to flip millions of votes away from former President Donald Trump in November. The theory was at the center of a series of lawsuits she filed in key swing states to overturn the election, all of which failed.

Dominion’s motive in suing was “diverting attention from the failings of its election equipment, trying to change the ‘narrative’ that was exposing Dominion’s serious flaws and wrongdoing, and avoiding post-election inquiry into voting irregularities in the 2020 election,” Powell said in the filing.

Powell's damages are self-inflicted, and this frivolous countersuit just compounds them.
