A federal judge rejected Sidney Powell's counterclaim against the company's lawsuit after she spread false claims about election fraud.
Sidney Powell left the Federal Court in Washington.
Powell asked the court to award her $10 million in damages and hold a jury trial as part of her counterclaim, which was granted by the district judge.
The case was brought to punish and make an example of Powell as a "public-relations campaign" to cover up the allegations about its voting machines.
Powell didn't prove that there was an abuse of process because he didn't show a perversion of the judicial process
Powell failed to link her abuse-of-process claim to any of the actions that Dominion has taken.
Powell hasn't responded yet.
According to Powell's counterclaim, Dominion's actions were designed to hurt Ms. Powell and the other defendants.
The case against Powell won't go to trial until late 2023 or early 2024, based on a schedule set by the court. The exact trial date won't be decided until July.
There is no evidence to support the claims that election fraud was tied to the voting machines. She was accused of defaming the company by promoting a false narrative. The case was not dismissed in August 2021. More than a dozen lawsuits have been filed against individuals and companies who pushed false claims about their machines, including Fox News and several of its anchors. Powell continued to assert her claims about the company's machines in her countersuit despite the fact that she had been sued.
The lawsuit against Mike Lindell will move forward now that the court has allowed it.
There are court rules that can move forward the lawsuits against Sidney Powell.
Sidney Powell is being sued by a voting organization for defamation over an election conspiracy.
