Three of former President Trump's allies who pushed false claims of a stolen election are scheduled to appear in court as part of three defamation lawsuits against them.

to challenge the results of the 2020 election -- and as both parties continue to battle over voting reforms.Attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani hold a press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, Nov. 19, 2020.

Dominion Voting Systems, based in Denver, has filed four defamation suits in the wake of the 2020 election against those it says helped pushed the false narrative that it had a hand in rigging the election. One of Powell's attorneys, Howard Kleinhendler, told ABC News on Wednesday that they"feel good" about their motion to dismiss. In a motion that has since gone viral, Powell and her attorneys argued in March that the case should be dismissed in part because"no reasonable person"Lindell on Wednesday told ABC News that he felt today would be a"great day for America." Rudy Giuliani and his attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

"The defendants are asking the judge to rule that even if everything Dominion's complaint says is true, the company has no legal remedy because the complaint does not adequately allege the factual elements of a defamation claim," said Stephen Gillers, an expert in law and ethics at New York University Law School.But experts believe it will be challenging to convince a judge to throw out the suits at this early stage.

"I'm not saying they're going win at trial, but at this stage, where the allegations are supposed to be viewed in a light most favorable to the plaintiff, it seems to me this is an uphill battle," said David Greenberger, a New York-based defamation and employment lawyer at Bailey Duquette.
