SCOOP: Dominion sent document preservation letters warning of "imminent" defamation litigation to individual right-wing media figures, including Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, and Maria Bartiromo. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
This article has been updated with links to all the relevant documents, as well as additional details. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
The letters Dominion sent to Hannity & Co. are spicy. I linked to all of them in my story. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
Dominion is repped by Clare and Locke, a formidable defamation firm. They're most famous for their $177 million win in the "Pink Slime" lawsuit.

Tom Clare told me Dominion had "no choice" but to take legal action. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
Dominion is also taking legal action against Sidney Powell.

It has sent letters to some of the witnesses in her lawsuits, including "Spider" (or "Spyder"). businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
Dominion has also sent multiple letters to the Epoch Times. @BrandyZadrozny and @oneunderscore__ have done a lot of great reporting on its place in the right-wing media ecosystem. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
And Dominion has also sent a letter to Mellissa Carone! The woman Rudy Giuliani has touted as having evidence of election fraud, and who was parodied on SNL.

The letter isn't very nice. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
I asked Dominion's lawyer whether what Fox News did with Smartmatic — having some guy offscreen ask some other guy about election security — would be enough to stop a defamation lawsuit.

He laughed. businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…
Many more documents and nuggets in the story. Take a look! businessinsider.com/dominion-defam…

Officials finally found a case of a dead person voting, and it was a Republican pretending to be his dead mom to vote for Trump businessinsider.com/voter-election…
I interviewed the attorney representing the guy who pretended to be his dead mom to illegally vote for Trump. He said his client was attempting "civil disobedience." businessinsider.com/why-pennsylvan…
The attorney, Samuel Stretton, told me that Bruce Bartman plans to plead guilty once they're through with initial hearings.

Bartman faces up to 19 years in prison for election fraud and perjury. businessinsider.com/why-pennsylvan…

SCOOP: I got a copy of the letter voting technology company Smartmatic sent to Fox News, demanding retractions for election conspiracy theories. It accuses Fox of "a concerted disinformation campaign" that's led to death threats against its employees. businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…
The Smartmatic letter names Fox News hosts Lou Dobbs, Jesse Watters, and Maria Bartiromo as individuals who spread the conspiracy theories. A spokesperson told me that suing them individually is an option on the table. businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…
"This retraction must be done with the same intensity and level of coverage that you used to defame the company in the first place." businessinsider.com/smartmatic-vot…

Hmm amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/01…
This is interesting. It seems to be someone who expects to be indicted but hasn't been yet.
If it's Giuliani, I would expect it to be SDNY rather than a DC court?

Following the USPS court case right now.

Judge Emmet Sullivan is furious the postal service didn't comply with his order.
Postal service lawyer says only "13 or 14" ballots were found misplaced in its sweep.
Lawyers on the opposing side say there's a pattern here:
- USPS says it's already doing what the court wants.
- Judge says, "OK, let's put that in a court order."
- USPS says "Actually we did something a little different."

Claudia is doing a TikTok live now and taking questions from people.

"'Do your parents get along?' Uh, I guess."
"'Does your mom agree with all of Trump's policies?' I don't think anyone does."
"If I had to vote, I would vote for Biden. Because honestly I would prefer my 5-year-old cousin over [Trump.]"
