Jury finds leading proponent of ‘The Big Lie’ defamed former voting equipment employee
June 17, 2025
A jury found Monday that MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed a former employee of a prominent voting equipment company by calling him a traitor, telling him and his online media platform to pay $2.3 million in damages. The decision came after a two-week trial against one of the biggest proponents of the myth that the 2020 election was stolen, a lie that still dominates national politics. Other such cases have ended in settlements before they could go before a jury.
