MyPillow boss Mike Lindell loses $2.3m defamation case

  • A federal jury in Denver, Colorado, ruled on June 2025 that Mike Lindell defamed Eric Coomer, ordering Lindell to pay $2.3 million in damages.
  • The lawsuit arose because Lindell repeatedly accused Coomer, Dominion Voting Systems' former security director, of rigging the 2020 election, claims Coomer denied and were unproven.
  • The two-week trial included testimony from Coomer, his psychiatrist, a cybersecurity expert, and detailed 10 defamatory statements by Lindell over nearly two years starting May 2021.
  • The jury found three statements defamatory, with Lindell's attorney arguing his beliefs were protected by the First Amendment; Lindell called the lawsuit 'lawfare' and pledged to appeal.
  • The verdict highlights legal accountability for election-related defamation, though Coomer's attorneys and jurors expect conspiracy theories and risks to election workers to persist.
