Mike Lindell Dominion Settle $1.3 Billion Defamation Suit

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell and the voting technology company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems have reached a confidential settlement, ending a five-year, $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit. The agreement, filed with prejudice in a Washington, D.C. district court on Monday, June 22, 2026, prevents the case from being refiled. Each party will bear its own legal costs.

The lawsuit originated in 2021 when Dominion, which was acquired and rebranded as Liberty Vote Holdings in October 2025, accused Lindell of knowingly promoting false claims that its machines were used to rig the 2020 presidential election. The company alleged he used these conspiracy theories to sell pillows. Lindell had responded defiantly at the time, welcoming the lawsuit as an opportunity for the truth to emerge.

In a statement, Lindell called the resolution a "big relief," saying it allows him to focus on his campaign for governor of Minnesota without the lawsuit looming. He remains a leading Republican candidate despite the state party's endorsement of another candidate in March. Lindell also stated the settlement does not mean he will stop fighting voting machine companies.
