A judge put on hold Mike Lindell's lawsuit accusing Dominion of election manipulationJacob Shamsian - Jul 8, 2021A federal judge in Minnesota has pressed pause on the pro-Trump pillow mogul Mike Lindell's lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems.
US District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz's order, issued Wednesday afternoon, granted Dominion's request to put a hold on the case amid litigation in another lawsuit in Washington, DC.
Lindell sued Dominion in June to counter the voting-technology company's earlier lawsuit against him and his company MyPillow.
The CEO has pushed baseless conspiracy theories alleging Dominion flipped the results of the 2020 presidential election from then-President Donald Trump to then-Democratic nominee President Joe Biden. Dominion sued in April, alleging $1.3 billion in defamation damages and saying that Lindell's media tour for his conspiracy theories amounted to a marketing campaign for MyPillow.
Lindell's countersuit, now on hold, doubles down on the baseless election claims and alleges Dominion's lawsuit violated racketeering laws. Lindell has claimed his lawsuit will force the Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election results and reinstate Trump as president, which is not possible under the US Constitution.
