The Supreme Court on Monday rejected MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s bid to
fend off a defamation lawsuit the voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems filed over his far-fetched claims about the 2020 presidential
election.

The justices’ decision not to hear the case means a federal judge’s
ruling in August 2021 that allowed the lawsuit to move forward remains
in place.

Lindell, a prominent TV salesman for the pillows his company makes, is
an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump.

Dominion sued Lindell and MyPillow in February 2021, claiming $1.3
billion in damages and alleging that Lindell purposely pushed the “big
lie” that Trump won the 2020 election. Lindell repeatedly echoed
baseless claims that Dominion’s machines manipulated vote counts to
ensure that Joe Biden defeated Trump. The claims have been widely
debunked. In the lawsuit, Dominion argues that Lindell knew his claims
were false, while Lindell’s lawyers say he genuinely believes them.
