Melissa Carone Refuses To Cooperate With Potential Defamation Lawsuit From Dominion Voting Systems

Melissa Carone, Rudy Giuliani’s star witness during Michigan’s surreal election hearings, may be facing a lawsuit for her debunked allegations against Dominion Voting Systems. She’s proven an uncooperative target, disregarding orders from Dominion lawyers not to tamper with evidence.

"I don’t know who the [expletive] they think they are," Carone told Detroit's Fox affiliate. "Sorry, excuse my language, but they are not telling me what to do."

Carone is referring to a letter from Dominion’s lawyers informing her that a defamation suit is “imminent” and asking that she preserve any communications between her and the Donald Trump campaign.

"I’ll be saving them," Carone said in her Fox interview. "I’ll be saving them on my personal computer and if I feel like deleting them I’ll delete them, but they’re not going to see any of my private conversations - I’ll tell you that. Or any personal conversations I’ve had with the Trump campaign, anybody, they’re not seeing it."

Dominion also said that Carone overstated her role in the voting process, saying she was a temp worker brought on to “clean glass on machines and complete other menial tasks.” Carone maintains she was part of the IT team overseeing the machines.

"My job description was in IT support," Carone said. "I don’t know what they mean when they say ‘cleaning glass’. I never cleaned glass… I guess it’s just to be degrading.”

It’s the latest move in Dominion’s efforts to clamp down on the disproven accusations against the integrity of their election machines. A statement to Fox from its legal counsel says Carone won’t be the only one that might face lawsuits.

“Our immediate focus is on Sidney Powell, who has been one of the most egregious and prolific purveyors of defamatory falsehoods,” said the statement. “Moving forward, we will certainly be taking a close look at others who have participated directly in the defamatory campaign - as well as those who have recklessly provided a platform for these discredited allegations.”
