A Pennsylvania election worker who was falsely accused of rigging the state's election for Joe Biden is suing former President Trump and some of his top surrogates, charging their lies about him led to numerous death threats and two heart attacks.
A pair of poll watchers accused the Delaware County voting machine warehouse supervisor of uploading Biden votes with USB cards, claims that were echoed by Giuliani and Ellis and then Trump, whoWhile Savage was not named during the event, he's the county's only machine warehouse supervisor, the suit notes.
The Trump team continued with the claim in the weeks that followed, which the suit says led to a number of threats against the civil servant. "As a result of the Defendants’ knowingly false statements, Mr. Savage and his family have been the target of threats and intimidation, including at his place of work and/or his home. Indeed, less than a week before Trump supportersin Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, the plaintiff was accosted at his work by two men without credentials asserting that they wanted to search his work and were there on behalf of 'the voters,'” the suit says.
"Plaintiff rightfully feared and continues to fear for the safety of himself and his family," says the court filing, which seeks damages in excess of $50,000 for defamation and"severe emotional, physical and/or psychological harm."
