U.S. President Donald Trump may be named as a defendant in a defamation action brought by Dominion Voting Systems.
Dominion chief executive John Poulos said the company will take legal action against people and organizations allegedly "promoting lies and amplifying those lies...on various media platforms since Election Day."
"We will not be overlooking anybody," he said. "We did send a letter to several different people that have been spreading lies and defamatory remarks since Election Day."
"We fully expect that none of them will be retracting their statements, so it forces our hand to file action."
Tom Clare, one of Dominion's lawyers, has said he expected to file "multiple litigation matters" in January against more people and organizations involved in the alleged disinformation.
On Nov. 12 Trump alleged on Twitter "Dominion deleted 2.7 million Trump votes Nationwide." He continued to make the allegations.
He continues to claim he won the election by a landslide. He alleges votes for him were suppressed or deleted by Dominion electronic voting machines while millions of votes for Biden were added.
Dominion, the second largest seller of voting machines in the U.S., has sent letters of intent to sue Fox News, Newsmax, One America Network and Epoch Times, as well as network personalities such as Rush Limbaugh and lawyers.
Fox News to receive the cease and desist letters are Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo. A similar letter was sent to Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly.
Others that received similar letters include Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
The letters said the named respondents "continue to feature the proponents of this misinformation campaign against" the company.
