A federal jury found that MyPillow CEO and prominent election denier Mike Lindell defamed former Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer on the trial’s eleventh day in a federal courthouse in downtown Denver. Coomer had asked for $62.7 million in compensation for statements made by Lindell and others on Lindell’s streaming platform, FrankSpeech, that alleged Coomer had rigged the 2020 presidential election; the jury awarded him only a fraction of that, about $2.3 million. Coomer filed his lawsuit against Lindell, FrankSpeech and MyPillow, claiming a civil conspiracy between the three entities, but MyPillow wasn’t found liable at all. The jury found Lindell responsible for two statements he made calling Coomer “treasonous” and a “traitor,” but did not find that he acted recklessly or inflicted emotional distress or participated in a civil conspiracy against him, resulting in a $440,500 judgment for economic and non-economic damages. ✍️ + 📸 Brendan Joel Kelley #mypillow #mike...
