MyPillow boss Mike Lindell loses $2.3m defamation case
- A federal jury in Denver, Colorado, found MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell liable for defaming Dominion executive Eric Coomer, ordering $2.3 million in damages on June 19, 2025.
- The lawsuit arose from Lindell’s repeated false claims that Coomer rigged the 2020 election to favor Joe Biden, accusations Coomer vehemently denied and which remain unproven.
- Lindell made these statements publicly over nearly two years, including calling Coomer a traitor and accusing him of treason, while Coomer said the attacks caused him severe distress and death threats.
- Defense attorney Jennifer DeMaster argued the case hinged on whether Lindell sincerely believed his claims, calling it "the crux of our First Amendment," while Coomer’s attorney Charles Cain called the verdict vindication.
- The ruling highlights legal limits on election-related defamation and may deter targeting election workers, although Coomer’s attorneys and Lindell acknowledge conspiracy theories likely will continue.
