Overview

  • Lindell took the stand in Denver federal court on Monday and accused Dominion executive Eric Coomer of treason while reiterating his baseless election-fraud theory.
  • He denied responsibility for defamatory claims made at his August 2021 Cyber Symposium, claiming he lost his voice and did not arrange the panel that targeted Coomer.
  • Coomer’s April 2022 lawsuit alleges Lindell’s false statements caused emotional distress, cost him his election-security career and seeks a public retraction and monetary damages.
  • Both sides examined Lindell’s motives and noted that MyPillow’s financial troubles forced him to borrow money for payroll after his conspiracy promotions.
  • Testimony resumes Tuesday and jurors will soon determine whether Lindell must pay multimillion-dollar damages to Coomer.
