A Pennsylvania judge dismissed part of a lawsuit that a state election employee brought against former President Donald Trump for comments he made about the integrity of the 2020 presidential race.

James Savage, a voting machine supervisor from Pennsylvania, had filed two lawsuits alleging that Mr. Trump, his attorney Rudy Giuliani, two poll watchers, and others “conspired to defame him and place him in a false light by publicly and falsely claiming that he tampered with the 2020 Presidential election results,” according to multiple media outlets.
