US EditionMyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s Attorneys Fined for Inaccurate, AI-Generated Brief
DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 7 – Mike Lindell's attorneys were each fined $3,000 for submitting court filings with nearly 30 defective AI-generated citations, violating federal procedural rules, a judge ruled.
- On July 7, 2025, Judge Nina Y. Wang fined attorneys Christopher Kachouroff and Jennifer DeMaster $3,000 each for filing an AI-generated, error-filled brief in a defamation case involving MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
- The fines followed a jury trial where Lindell and his media company Frankspeech were found liable for defaming Eric Coomer and ordered to pay over $2.3 million in damages after baseless election fraud claims.
- Kachouroff admitted using generative AI to draft the motion but did not review the documents for errors, leading Judge Wang to find the filing negligence sanction-worthy rather than inadvertent.
- Judge Wang identified nearly 30 flawed citations, including references to cases that do not exist, and emphasized that although imposing sanctions is necessary, the court does not take pleasure in penalizing the attorneys involved, describing the fines as the minimal appropriate measure to prevent further misconduct.
- The sanctions highlight judicial concerns about AI use in legal filings and emphasize the need for attorneys to verify AI-generated content to prevent further court order errors and sanctions.
