Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani is no longer serving as the personal attorney of former President Donald Trump, according to a Trump spokesman. Giuliani has recently been targeted by Dominion Voting Systems in a $1.3 billion lawsuit over his claims that the company’s voting machines helped “steal” the 2020 presidential election from Trump. Most recently, Giuliani served as the public face of the Trump campaign’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in courts and state legislatures. As part of his efforts, Giuliani and other Trump supporters claimed that Dominion voting machines had been programmed to flip votes away from Trump to President Joe Biden. Dominion has repeatedly denied the allegations, and in January, filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Giuliani and Trump-supporting attorney Sidney Powell, another former member of the Trump campaign’s legal team. This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
