US EditionMyPillow boss Mike Lindell loses $2.3m defamation case
COLORADO, JUN 16 – Mike Lindell was ordered to pay $2.3 million for spreading false claims that Eric Coomer rigged the 2020 election, with the jury finding two statements defamatory.
- A federal jury in Denver found MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell liable for defaming Dominion executive Eric Coomer and ordered him to pay $2.3 million in damages on June 17, 2025.
- The lawsuit, filed by Coomer in April 2022 in Colorado, arose after Lindell accused Coomer of rigging the 2020 election and committing treason without evidence.
- Lindell publicly made defamatory statements over nearly two years, including at a 2021 cyber symposium, and defended them as protected speech during a two-week trial.
- The jury found three of ten statements defamatory, awarded $2.3 million in damages, while Lindell's company was not found liable, and Lindell vowed to appeal calling the suit 'lawfare'.
- The verdict highlights legal recourse against false election claims and may deter targeting of election workers, though attorneys acknowledge conspiracy theories will likely persist.
