MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said Monday that he is planning to countersue Dominion Voting Systems after the company sued him for $1.3 billion last month as a result of his allegations the company was connected to voter fraud in the presidential election.
“You’re also going to have MyPillow going after Dominion in a countersuit, and that’s going to your First Amendment speech,” Lindell said on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast. “You’re going to have me go after them, countersuing them.”

“There are two cases. One will be MyPillow, one will be Mike Lindell,” the Minnesota native and outspoken Trump supporter continued. “We’re both going after them. They’re a little bit different because one of them — what Dominion did was violate the First Amendment rights of everyone in this country by using bullying lawsuits and RICO law.”
Dominion Voting Systems sued Lindell in February for linking it to accusations of voter fraud across the country that he and other prominent Trump supporters insist cost the former president the election.

The lawsuit says the evidence floated by Lindell connecting Dominion to a widespread, anti-Trump conspiracy “was deliberately misrepresented, manufactured, cherry-picked, and sourced from con artists and conspiracy theorists who were judicially determined to be ‘wholly unreliable.’”
Dominion added, “Lindell knows all of this because Dominion wrote to him multiple times, put him on formal written notice of the facts, and told him that Dominion employees were receiving death threats because of the lies.”
Trump impeachment lawyer Alan Dershowitz is reportedly advising Lindell with his case, although the former Harvard professor says his role is “extremely limited.”
