Overview
- A federal jury in Colorado found that Lindell and his media platform defamed former Dominion executive Eric Coomer by accusing him of treason and awarded Coomer $2.3 million in damages.
- Jurors identified three statements as defamatory, held LindellTV (formerly FrankSpeech) liable, and exempted MyPillow itself from defamation responsibility.
- Coomer testified that the false conspiracy claims ended his 15-year career, triggered death threats and caused severe emotional distress.
- Throughout the trial, Lindell maintained his election fraud assertions, detailed his financial struggles and announced plans to appeal the verdict.
- Observers note the decision follows a trend of legal actions targeting election misinformation and may deter future personal attacks on voting officials.
