Dominion say they were forced to chase Sidney Powell across state lines to serve her with $1.3bn...

Dominion Voting Systems says that ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell was pursued across state lines as she evaded being served with the defamation lawsuit the company filed against her.

In response to a motion by Ms Powell for an extension of time to answer or respond to the complaint, Dominion’s lawyers said that they do not oppose the motion “as a professional courtesy” but want the record to reflect two points.

First, that Ms Powell refused to respond to requests about executing waivers of service of process, that would have extended the time for her to respond to the complaint.

And second that the former Trump lawyer evaded being served for weeks, forcing Dominion to incur unnecessary expenses for the extraordinary measures needed to serve Ms Powell, including hiring private investigators and pursuing her across state lines.
