Mike Lindell Defamation Trial Wrapping Up

Mike Lindell faced a two-week defamation trial in Denver in June 2025 after Eric Coomer sued him for false claims about rigging the 2020 election.
The lawsuit arose because Lindell publicly accused Coomer of rigging the election, basing claims on a November 2020 podcast that Coomer and his team say was fabricated.
Throughout the trial, the jury heard testimony from Coomer, his psychiatrist, a cybersecurity expert who called Lindell's theories 'crazy town,' and defense arguments focusing on Lindell's belief in his statements.
Eric Coomer seeks $62.7 million in damages, with his attorneys requesting a $40 million verdict for defamation, citing over 10 defamatory statements made over nearly two years.
The trial's outcome will affect First Amendment boundaries, balancing Lindell's belief defense against the serious reputational harm alleged by Coomer from false election fraud claims.
