Facing a more than $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting systems, former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell dodged the company’s legal team for weeks, forcing Dominion to hire private investigators, the company claimed in a Tuesday filing.
Dominion had to pursue Powell “across state lines," which forced the company to have "unnecessary expenses for extraordinary measures to effect service [of process]," it wrote in the filing. Powell also "refused to respond" to requests from Dominion's legal team that would have allowed Powell more time to respond, the filing said.
Howard Kleinhendler, an attorney for Powell, denied that his client evaded service, saying she “regularly travels as part of her work.”
“Unfortunately, for the past several months Ms. Powell has had to take extra precautions concerning her security, which may have made serving her more difficult,” Kleinhendler wrote in an email to POLITICO. “Ms. Powell had no reason to evade service as she looks forward to defending herself in court.”
