Overview

• A Colorado federal jury found that Lindell’s public claims accusing Eric Coomer of treason and rigging the 2020 election were false and defamatory.
• The jury found MyPillow not liable but held Lindell’s FrankSpeech platform responsible and awarded Coomer $2.3 million in damages.
• Coomer testified that the conspiracy theories led to death threats, the loss of his career in election security and severe emotional distress.
• Lindell said he has depleted his wealth, accruing $10 million in debt, and has pledged to appeal the judgment.
• The case is part of a broader wave of lawsuits targeting false election fraud claims, including Dominion’s $787 million settlement with Fox News.
