WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court turned away a bid by MyPillow Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mike Lindell to derail a lawsuit accusing him of defaming a voting technology company with his claims that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
The court decided against reviewing a federal appeals court’s conclusion that it couldn’t legally hear Lindell’s appeal until a final judgment was made in district court.
Dominion Voting Systems Inc. sued Lindell and MyPillow for $1.3 billion in damages for spreading a false conspiracy theory that Dominion helped rigged the 2020 presidential election against Trump. The business has sued others for defamation, including former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and Fox News.
