    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Gateway Pundit, a rightwing website known for spreading election conspiracies, will declare bankruptcy as it faces lawsuits for defamation.

    The site’s parent company, TGP Communications, will file for bankruptcy in Florida “as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet”, founder Jim Hoft wrote on the website.

    In a separate case, Freeman and Moss secured a $148m judgment against Rudy Giuliani for spreading election lies about them and defaming them.

    Gateway Pundit also faces a suit in Colorado from a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, Eric Coomer, who alleges the outlet defamed him by claiming he rigged the election against Trump.

    Election offices have faced waves of harassing messages after Gateway Pundit stories have published, often targeting staff members with threatening and abusive language.

    Hoft said that the company seeking bankruptcy protection was “not an admission of fault or culpability”, but instead a way to reorganize and consolidate lawsuits “when attacks are coming from all sides”.
