Rudy Giuliani has reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit over his baseless 2020 election-rigging claims.

The two sides said in a filing in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday that they have agreed to permanently dismiss the suit against the former New York City mayor and former personal lawyer to President Donald Trump.

The brief filing doesn’t cite the settlement terms. Spokespeople for Giuliani and the Colorado-based company said Saturday that the terms are confidential and declined to comment further.

    I guess Fox and Newsmax should have dragged the suit out until 2025. Could have saved them a lot of money

    Seems plausible the Trump administration applied a little pressure to Dominion over Rudy Giuliani. He is a civilian medal of honor recipient now after all. Trump has enough political power, he could do a lot of damage to a company like them.There was no way they’d get enough money out of Rudy Giuliani to balance that risk
