Eric Coomer v Mike Lindell

Parties Involved: Eric Coomer, former security/product strategy director at Dominion Voting Systems; Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow.
Legal Claims: Coomer sued Lindell for defamation, arguing Lindell spread false, reckless allegations of criminal conduct and treason that destroyed Coomer’s career and reputation. Coomer sought damages for the distress, threats, and professional fallout suffered as a result.
Defense: Lindell’s lawyers argued his statements were protected by the First Amendment, that Coomer’s reputation was already damaged by others before Lindell spoke, and that Lindell genuinely believed his claims.
Trial Outcome (June 2025):
- After a two-week trial in Denver, a federal jury found Lindell liable for defamation and ordered him and FrankSpeech (his media company) to pay Coomer $2.3 million in damages.
- The jury determined that Lindell made at least two defamatory statements personally: publicly calling Coomer “treasonous, a traitor...part of the biggest crime this world has ever seen” and urging him to “turn himself in.”
- FrankSpeech was also found liable for an additional defamatory statement made during a broadcasted event.
- Lindell was exonerated of eight other counts, but the damages award was significant.
Current Status (August 2025):
- Lindell is pursuing an appeal of the damages due to bias inherent in jury instructions issued by the judge that prohibited consideration of key defense evidence
