Mike Lindell, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, must face a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems Inc accusing him of defamation.

WASHINGTON - Mike Lindell, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, must face a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems Inc accusing him of defamation for pushing false claims that its voting machines rigged the 2020 presidential election, with the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turning away his appeal.

Denver-based Dominion's lawsuit against Lindell is one of a number that the company and a competitor, Smartmatic USA Inc, have filed against Trump allies and conservative media outlets over false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump through widespread voting fraud. U.S. Judge Carl Nichols in August 2021 rejected Lindell's request to dismiss the case, finding that Dominion "adequately alleged that Lindell made his claims knowing that they were false or with reckless disregard for the truth."

Lindell sought to appeal that decision. But in January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected it, noting that the case can be reviewed after a "final judgment" in the trial court.

You'd think Mike Lindell would want to go to court to show his evidence.

Corrupt GOP Rev. Pillow Lindell was a rabid nucleus of Mar-a-Lago Trump's inner circle of corruption Expansive cast & crew

Thasalotta pillows Mike!

JennAnne10 When Republicans cannot win at the ballot, they attack the voting machines just like they attack science when he comes to climate change. Republicans don’t ask, they take and it’s how they operate. Lawless people, violent and hypocrites. Kemp, DeSantis, Abbott, are all the same.

Why? We all know the 2020 election was fubared

😂😂😂😂😂😂
