MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is facing a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems. The company claims Lindell defamed them by peddling false narratives about its role in the 2020 election.
“This is what I wanted. I have been waiting for this. I just called my lawyers, I said finally they’re doing it,” Lindell told ABC News.
Dominion Voting Systems is also suing former New York City Mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for false claims and defamation.
The chairman of the New York State Senate’s judiciary committee formally requested that the state court system strip Giuliani of his law license.
“I’ve lost over twenty retailers because of the cancel culture,” Lindell said. “Because of this, I can’t go on the TV because they’re afraid I’ll say the word ‘corrupt Dominion.’ I’ve lost my company Twitter account, all this money.”
“It would be easy to rack this up as a piece of fiction that is not worth any response,” Dominion legal counsel Megan Meier said of Lindell’s election fraud claims, “but unfortunately, countless people actually believed it and sent MyPillow some of their hard-earned money as a result.
