The defamation lawsuit that voting machine company Dominion is pursuing
against the MyPillow chief executive, Mike Lindell, can proceed after
the US supreme court rejected the prominent Donald Trump supporter’s
appeal aiming to block the case.

Dominion Voting Systems in February 2021 filed a $1.3bn lawsuit accusing Lindell of promoting the debunked conspiracy theory that the company’s machines manipulated vote counts in favor of Joe Biden in the 2020
presidential election that ousted Trump from the Oval Office.

Lindell had been appealing an August 2021 ruling by federal court judge
Carl Nichols, who refused to dismiss the lawsuit at the MyPillow
leader’s request. An appellate court in Washington DC later decided the
case was not ready for review. And in its first day back from its summer
break, the US supreme court decided it would not take up Lindell’s
appeal for consideration, clearing the way for the lawsuit against
Lindell to progress.
