Lindell Defamed Smartmatic, Judge Rules

A federal judge ruled that MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed election technology company Smartmatic with false claims about the 2020 election. The judge found Lindell made false statements about Smartmatic's machines rigging the election, but deferred the question of "actual malice" needed for damages. Smartmatic is seeking "nine-figure damages" from Lindell, who maintains his belief in his claims and plans to continue his fight against voting machines. Lindell is also reportedly considering a gubernatorial run in Minnesota, focusing on election security.
