The case, decided in federal court in Colorado, stemmed from Lindell&#8217;s comments related to the 2020 election. The jury ordered Lindell, along with his online platform Frankspeech, to pay $2.3 million in damages to Coomer. Despite this financial blow, which falls short of the $62.7 million Coomer had initially sought, Lindell expressed his determination to appeal the decision. he portrayed the outcome as a partial victory, emphasizing that the jury did not find his company, MyPillow, liable. Lindell remains optimistic, claiming the verdict signifies a breakthrough for free speech. However,he has faced meaningful financial challenges,reportedly going from a $60 million net worth to being $10 million in debt since engaging in the controversies surrounding the 2020 election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>MyPillow founder Mike Lindell can&rsquo;t be resting easy after a jury verdict on Monday, but he isn&rsquo;t giving up.<\/p>\n<p>The vocal supporter of President Donald Trump was found liable in federal court in Colorado for defaming a former employee of Dominion Voting Systems with his comments on the 2020 election, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mike-lindell-dominion-voting-defamation-2020-election-af473792a6e395d86ea6ca0f97742c3f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But in interviews after the trial, Lindell remained as ebullient as ever and vowed to appeal.<\/p>\n<p>According to the AP, the verdict ordered Lindell and his online platform, Frankspeech, to pay former Dominion security and product strategy director Eric Coomer $2.3 million in damages.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s no small amount of money, but it&rsquo;s a pittance compared to the amount Coomer&rsquo;s lawsuit had sought.
