U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump ally Lindell's defamation case appeal

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Mike Lindell, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, must face a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems Inc accusing him of defamation for pushing false claims that its voting machines rigged the 2020 presidential election, with the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turning away his appeal.

The justices rejected a bid by Lindell and his company My Pillow Inc to immediately appeal a federal judge's refusal to toss the lawsuit. A lower court also snubbed his effort to quickly review the case, allowing the litigation to proceed.

Denver-based Dominion's lawsuit against Lindell is one of a number that the company and a competitor, Smartmatic USA Inc, have filed against Trump allies and conservative media outlets over false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump through widespread voting fraud.

U.S. Judge Carl Nichols in August 2021 rejected Lindell's request to dismiss the case, finding that Dominion "adequately alleged that Lindell made his claims knowing that they were false or with reckless disregard for the truth."

Nichols added, "As a preliminary matter, a reasonable juror could conclude that the existence of a vast international conspiracy that is ignored by the government but proven by a spreadsheet on an internet blog is so inherently improbable that only a reckless man would believe it."

Like all the one's who pedaled the "Big Lie" time to pay up. Those Oath keeper terrorists are going to pay as well.
 
Yes, but I didn't need to. The little alert bell told me you were here...:heehee:
Sure. Does a little bell also ring when the orange douchebag wants you to lick his ass? Or, is it more a buzzer that summons you?

Dominion is owned by a former CEO of one of Soros' organizations.
Smartmatic is owned by a former CEO of Soros' organizations.

Smell the rat yet?
When Lindell pays out, which he will certainly lose, tell us all again how this is on Soros?
 
The 2000 Mules documentary has all the evidence needed.
And yet, where are they in the courts? No where!
The 2000 Mules documentary has all the evidence needed.
The documentary “2000 Mules” does not provide any concrete, verifiable evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. Technology and election integrity experts consulted by Reuters also did not find the geolocation, surveillance or any other information presented showed plausible evidence of fraud.

Supporting Trump and wanting to see Trump ‘president’ again is in fact reckless.
