• MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was hit with another defamation lawsuit.

• He was sued by a former Dominion employee, Eric Coomer, whom Lindell once called a “traitor”.

• Coomer accuses Lindell and Lindell’s Frank Speech platform of “destroying” his life.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell received another lawsuit, this time from Eric Coomer, former Dominion Voting Systems employee whom Lindell once accused of being a national traitor.

Lawyers for Coomer, who served as Dominion’s director of security and product strategy, filed a judicial complaint against Lindell on Monday to launch a defamation case against the CEO of pillows and his online platform Frank Speech. Lindell received the lawsuit Tuesday at a mini rally he organized in Denver.

Coomer alleged in the complaint that his reputation had been “irreparably tarnished” by Lindell and Frank Speech. Coomer added that Lindell had published “numerous false statements, libelous interviews and other dishonest content” defaming him in Frank Speech, along with “a sales pitch for MyPillow products”.

Coomer also said that Lindell made claims about him in the Pillow CEO’s “cyber symposium” in August in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where Lindell spent 72 hours pushing debunked claims of voter fraud.

“Although Defendants’ baseless claims of voter fraud have been refuted by credible authorities from all political parties, they persist in their campaign to profit from the ‘Big Lie’ by destroying the lives of private individuals like Dr. Coomer “said the court file. “They have not acknowledged the damage they have caused, nor have they retracted any of their false statements.”

The filing added that Coomer received “frequent credible death threats,” which Coomer’s legal team attributed to “unwarranted mistrust” inspired by what the lawsuit called Lindell’s “lies.”

Coomer has, separately, filed a defamation lawsuit against the Trump campaign and its allies.

When asked about the lawsuit and the possibility of being sued by more people with ties to Dominion, Lindell demurred, saying that people like Coomer were trying to “cancel” his voice.

“MyPillow and Frank Speech did nothing. I don’t even know if I ever mentioned Eric Coomer,” Lindell told Insider. “They’re trying to cancel Frank Speech, your favorite show!”

Insider discovered that Lindell mentioned Coomer on the Frank Speech platform last year. In September, Lindell appeared on Frank Speech and urged Coomer to turn himself in to the authorities.

“Eric Coomer, if I were you right now, instead of going and making deals at Newsmax, if I were you, I’d turn myself in and turn the whole operation in,” he said, “then maybe, just maybe, you get immunity and just you can do, I don’t know, 10 to 20 years.

It is unclear what Lindell was referring to, as it was not known, and still is not known, that Coomer would face any criminal charges.

“You are disgusting and a traitor. You are a traitor to the United States of America. You know what? I can say that, just like I can about Brian Kemp and brad raffenspergerLindell said. “These are things I have evidence of. The evidence is there. He’s sitting there.”

Lindell faces several other lawsuits. He is being sued by voting technology companies. Domain and Smartmatic for promoting unsubstantiated electoral claims. Dominion said in a January court filing that there was no “realistic chance” it would settle its $1.3 billion lawsuit with Lindellgiven the “devastating damage” he said he and other allies of former President Donald Trump caused to the company.
