Dominion Voting Systems has asked a federal judge to deny Rudy Giuliani's movement to dismiss the company's $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against him.

Giuliani argued in April that the judge overseeing his case, Carl J. Nichols, should reject the lawsuit. He argued that his claims about Dominion rigging the election weren't defamatory, that Dominion hadn't proved it suffered damages, and that the court didn't have the authority to oversee the case in the first place.

In a motion filed on Wednesday evening, the election-technology company said the judge should reject Giuliani's arguments. The company's attorneys said Giuliani's arguments lacked a basis in legal precedent and ignored facts about the case.

Dominion filed its lawsuit against Giuliani earlier this year. The former New York City mayor was a member of President Donald Trump's legal team attempting to overturn the result of the 2020 election. He pushed the false conspiracy theory that Dominion and a rival election-technology company, Smartmatic, had secret ties to each other and to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, and that they "flipped" votes from Trump to now-President Joe Biden.
