Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on February 22, 2021, accusing him of promoting false claims that Dominion machines were rigged against Trump. Lindell had become the most visible promoter of voting machine conspiracy theories, producing a film aired on OAN filled with debunked claims. Dominion alleged Lindell used promo codes like "FightforTrump" and "QAnon" to convert election-lie outrage into pillow sales.
