The upcoming two-week trial, overseen by United States District Judge Nina Wang, stems from a defamation lawsuit filed in 2022 by Eric Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, who alleges that Lindell accused him of rigging the 2020 election against President Trump during an “Antifa conference call.”
Lindell, who wants to see an end to voting machines in favor of paper ballots in U.S. elections, told The Rolling Stone that he's a former crack addict who "has nothing to hide."
Coomer, a Colorado resident who handled election security for Dominion, is suing Lindell and two of his companies, MyPillow, Inc and FrankSpeech LLC, now known as Lindell TV, for an undisclosed amount of money for allegedly ruining his reputation and causing him emotional distress when he claimed that Coomer threw the 2020 election.
This is not Coomer's lone lawsuit. He has filed a series of them against conservative figures alleging the same basic sequence of events, but the lawsuit against Lindell is the first to go to trial.
What is the issue that he is in court for?
Defamation.
He claimed Eric Coomer rigged the election based on claims by Joe Oltmann.
Oltmann refuse to produce evidence of his claim and stormed out of a deposition in another case.
Sydney Powell and one America news / Chanel Rion have settled.
I think gateway pundit and Rudy Giuliani are going to court.
There's other cases too.
Newsmax settled as well
Coomer. lol
Thx.
