In the deposition, Giuliani said he was given that anecdotal — and since debunked — evidence about election fraud, a conspiracy theory that he reported during a press conference but never attempted to personally verify. The idea was to push the (conspiracy) theory that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. The press conference in question — and thus, Giuliani’s claims — was covered by several conservative news outlets, including Fox News. Giuliani’s public and false accusation has led to numerous libel lawsuits: Dominion sued Giuliani for $1.3 billion dollars and Fox News for $1.6 billion. Attorney and CNN contributor Jeffrey Toobin also reveled in Giuliani’s floundering.
