The Gateway Pundit declaring bankruptcy amid voter misinformation lawsuit

What they're saying: Hoft said in a message that the website's parent company made the decision "as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet," though he did not name specific lawsuits.

• He added, "This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides."
• But Hoft indicated the site will continue its work and "will not be deterred from our mission of remaining fearless."

Catch up quick: Two Georgia election workers filed a lawsuit in 2021 accusing The Gateway Pundit "of committing ballot fraud to alter the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia."

• The site published articles claiming that the two election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, "were involved in a conspiracy to commit election fraud."

• The website allegedly identified them by name and published their pictures online, claiming they interfered with the election results in favor of President Biden.

Worth noting: The two elections workers recently won a separate $148 million defamation case against Rudy Giuliani related to his alleged efforts to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election.
