Trump is aimed at Domino’s lawyers on the same day on which the judge finds NewSax Defamed of voting software

On the same day a judge of Delaware governed That channel via sorceress cable NewSmax he had made false and defamatory statements on Domination Voting systems After the 2020 elections, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at the law firm representing the voting software company.

Having already helped Domino to take a settlement of $ 787.5 million from Fox News for his elections, Susman Godfrey is only the latest company identified for punishment by the president for having assisted or employed Trump’s political rivals.

In a Executive order Trump signed at the Oval Office Last Wednesday, the president tries to revoke the company’s safety authorizations, cut federal contracts and limit their access to government buildings, making it extremely difficult for the agency to represent customers with any request or activity with the federal government.

During his signature ceremony, Trump told journalists that “there were some very bad things that happened with these law firms”. The president also boasted of legal agencies that happen in front of his executive orders.

“We signed with many law firms, those we thought were inappropriate, and everyone agreed to pay .. We have five more to do,” said Trump while the councilor Senior Stephen Miller complaint That the administration was close to the achievement of a billion dollars in pro bono services with targeted law firms.

“This company is very involved in the bad electoral conduct,” added Miller on Susman Godfrey.

In addition to Susman Godfrey, Trump tried to punish five other law firms with executive orders: Covington & Burling, Perkins Coie, Paul Weiss, Jenner & Block and Wilmerhale. While three of these agencies have chosen to fight and successfully obtained the orders of the court that block the actions of the president, Other companies have sold and have achieved widely criticized agreements with the administration.

Paul Weiss, for example, has engaged $ 40 million in Pro Bono legal services to make the president’s executive order disappear. Three other companies: Skadden, Arps, Meagher and Flom; Milbank LLP; And Willkie, Farr and Gallaghe – have reached preventive agreements with the administration in an attempt to avoid punishment.

Susman Godfrey, who recently signed a Amicus brief in support of Perkie Coles’ challenge, indicated that he would fight the order’s order. “Anyone who knows Susman Godfrey knows that we believe in the rule of law and take our duty seriously to support it. This principle guides us now. There is no doubt that we will fight this unconstitutional order,” said the company in a note.

The timing of the Trump memo who aims at Susman Godfrey is curious as he coincided with judge Eric M. Davis who has distributed several devastating preliminary judgments in NewSasx in view of the process of this month with Dominion, who is looking for damage to $ 1.6 billion in his dose of defamation against the right -wing network.

His Wednesday evening the opinionDavis established that the company of voters had presented “clear and convincing evidence” that shows that NewMax had transmitted false information that “probably would have made reasonable spectators think significantly less favorable to the domain than if the spectators knew the truth”. Some of the most extravagant statements transmitted by NewSasx included scandalous conspiracy theories that the company was linked to the deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and launched millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

He also observed that the Segments broadcast of NewSax recognized the fake statements in December 2020 showed that he was aware of the “falsity” of the electoral segments on the air. Furthermore, Davis – just as he did in the Fox News case that in the end led to a huge settlement for domain – observed that the segments broadcast by NewMasx were not presented as “pure opinion” by its guests and commentators, reducing the protection of the first amendment for the network.

However, while Davis granted Domination most of his motion for a summary judgment, he said that it would be a task to a jury decide whether the conservative channel has intentionally acted with “actual malice” in transmitting the strip against the company.

“NewMasx covered both sides of the 2020 electoral dispute in a fair way,” said a NewSax spokesman in a note. “At no time has the domain defamed. This case represents a serious threat to freedom of speech and a free and NewSax press will defend themselves vigorously at the trial.”

A spokesman for the Domination said: “We are gratified by the in -depth sentence of the Court”.

The possibility of an agreement before the case reaches the trial on April 28 remains high, especially in the light of Davis’s sentence. NewSmax Fixed a similar case With SmartMatic last autumn for $ 40 million, which must pay in full by 30 June. Smartmatic also has a “five -year -old cash mandate” for the purchase of 2,000 privileged actions in NewMasx.

The last few weeks have been a dizzying guide for NewMasx and not only with a very expensive cause that hangs over his head. Just last week, the net was publicly launched on the stock exchange and soon entered Territory of “Meme Stock”. Despite his financial foundations that are anything but star, NewSxx has soon seen his share prices go up to over $ 250, making the company briefly more precious than Fox Corporation and other important media conglomerates.

Chris Ruddy, CEO of NewSasx, who was Sitting in court of the Delaware last month While the Lawyers of Dominion accused him of being personally responsible for defamation, he was for a certain time added to the billionaire class based on his participation in the network.

While the prices of NewMasx actions have Since he crashed Again at $ 34 at altitudes on Thursday morning, the network evaluation is still over $ 4 billion and Ruddy has been able to exploit the channel to conclude an agreement with investors. Monday, NewSmax announced that he had reached an STANDY SCHOOL PURCHASE PURCHASE WITH YORBILE ADVISORS up to $ 1.2 billion.

“While we have no obligation to draw on the entire amount, this action allows us to maintain a strong balance while adding liquidity to our actions over time,” said Ruddy on the agreement. “The new access to capital will also provide our team the flexibility to respond to new opportunities and challenges efficiently while we continue to grow NewSAX as the media panorama evolves.”

Ruddy also made it known that it is spoken to the president several times In the last few weeks on the initial public offer of NewMasx, who has seen him and the experts of his network playing the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange – the day the market had his worst day from the pandemic.

A spokesperson for Susman Godfrey did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the times of the NewSamx sentence and on the executive order of Trump who aim for the company.
