Governor Ron DeSantis hosted a roundtable discussion on Wednesday with a group of lawyers
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hosted a roundtable discussion on Wednesday with a group of lawyers, including Libby Locke, who represents Dominion Voting Machines in its legal battles against several conservative figures, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. During the roundtable, which was focused on media defamation, Governor DeSantis praised Libby Locke as an "Extraordinaire at First Amendment and defamation law." The governor's comments came as Dominion continues litigation against Lindell and others regarding the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. Lindell reacted to DeSantis hosting the Dominion lawyer on Twitter, saying, the governor was "Showing his true colors!". During the roundtable, Locke criticized media outlets, saying it should be made easier to win defamation lawsuits. Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit accusing Lindell, as well as Donald Trump allies Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, of spreading theories that Dominion's voting machines in 2020 were tampered with and used to rig the election against Trump. Tom Clare and Libby Locke, a married couple who run their own boutique firm, represent Dominion.
