It was a dark day in the courtroom for CEO of MyPillow Mike Lindell: He lost a $2.3 million dollar defamation case brought against him by a former employee of a voting equipment company.
The jury in Denver, Colorado awarded the $2.3 million in damages to Eric Coomer, a former security and product strategy director at Dominion Voting Systems.
Lindell claimed the Dominion Voting System was compromised, and the 2020 election was 'rigged', claiming the election was stolen from Donald Trump.
From the BBC:
He "now endures frequent credible death threats and the burden of being made the face of an imagined criminal conspiracy of unprecedented scope in American history", his lawsuit said.
A lawyer for Mr Coomer told the Colorado Sun: "We're thrilled with the verdict."
"In the sense that [Coomer has] been through a lot and he's still going to be looking over his shoulder," added the attorney, Charles Cain.
"Generally, what this verdict says is… individuals who are singled out can get vindication in the courthouse.
"And hopefully this serves as deterrence for individuals working on our elections from being targeted."
Outside court, Lindell praised the jury for not finding his company, Lindell TV, liable for defamation.
"This is a huge victory for our country," he said in a live broadcast, according to the Sun.
"The big win is: you cannot attack USA companies and expect it's going to work."
Dominion also sued Fox News, and won $787.5 million dollars. Shortly afterwards, Tucker Carlson was let go by the organization.
Bravo.
