Mike Lindell goes to court in Colorado today in a lawsuit filed by former Dominion worker Eric Coomer.
According to a local journal in Colorado:
Former My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has decided to take the stand in his own defense in what the staunch MAGA supporter has coined “the trial of the century.”
The trial starts Monday morning with jury selection at Denver’s Alfred A. Araj United States Courthouse. Opening statements are expected to be 30 minutes long and will likely be over by the end of the day.
The upcoming two-week trial, overseen by U.S. 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, My Pillow, 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.
Coomer’s claims originated with a November 2020 podcast recorded by Joe Oltmann, a Colorado podcaster and political activist .
Days after the presidential election, Oltmann alleged he had recently listened in on an “antifa” conference call — a reference to anti-fascist ideology.
On the call, an unnamed participant referenced “Eric … the Dominion guy.” Oltmann alleged “Eric” said, “Don’t worry about the election, (Donald) Trump is not gonna win. I made f-ing sure of that.”
Oltmann then conducted his own “investigation” by Googling the terms “Eric,” “Dominion,” and “Colorado.”
Based on limited other information found online, he concluded Coomer was the one who allegedly made the comments of election rigging. Oltmann repeated his story publicly, even after the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency found “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
In 2023 Lindell was deposed in this case. We reminded readers that Coomer has a tattoo on his arm by an artist listed number one by the church of Satan.

Coomer in his deposition he said, “F*ck the USA”. He also admitted being a skinhead and heroin addict.
In Lindell’s deposition, Coomer’s attorneys insulted Mike Lindell during his deposition.
In one section of the interview, the nasty attorney representing Coomer insulted Mike Lindell claiming that he had lumpy pillows.
This sent Lindell off.
Lindell replied:
When you say lumpy pillows now you’re an asshole. Have you got that? You’re an asshole – is what you are. No, he’s an asshole.
