Trump campaign, Powell sued by Dominion worker

President WASHINGTON —

Donald Trump’s campaign and its former lawyer Sidney Powell were sued by a worker at Dominion Voting Systems Inc., which Powell has placed at the center of a vast and unhinged election fraud conspiracy.

Eric Coomer, director of product strategy and security at Dominion, alleges the campaign and Powell, alongwith Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and others, recklessly spread dubious and unverififiable claims that he’d conspired with antifa activists to switch votes to President-elect Joe Biden.

The suit, fifiled Tuesday in Colorado state court, comes after numerous election challenges fifiled by Powell and others were dismissed by judges who ruled they failed to produce legitimate evidence of their conspiracy claims or wrongdoing by Dominion, whose voting machines are used across the U.S.

Coomer, a Colorado resident, said the bogus claims forced him into hiding after he received multiple death threats.

“Without concern for the truth or the consequences of their reckless conduct, defendants branded Dr. Coomer a traitor to the United States, a terrorist, and a criminal of the highest order,” the complaint says.

Powell was dumped by the Trump campaign not long after an off- the- rails news conference in which she accused Dominion of conspiring to flip millions of votes from Trump to Biden with help from thousands of corrupt Democratic election workers. She also claimed, without evidence, that agents from Iran and China had infiltrated Dominion’s voting machines to help Biden, and that the software had ties to the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.
