The Supreme Court will not hear the challenge brought by the MyPillow CEO against the voting machine company, which was part of the defamation suit against him.
A federal judge denied a motion to dismiss the case in August of 2021.
He was sent to the Supreme Court after the appeals court refused to hear his motion to dismiss.
The MyPillow CEO asked the Supreme Court to consider whether he had the right to appeal the motion to dismiss, saying the inability to do so would cause him to spend a lot of money.
The Supreme Court didn't say why it didn't take up the case or if any justices were in favor of hearing it.
A request for comment has not been replied to.
The Supreme Court decision on Monday was the latest in a long line of legal defeats for Lindell. He had counterclaims against the voting companies denied by the courts. There is no evidence to support the claim that voting machines changed the votes of former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. Despite the legal scrutiny against them, the MyPillow CEO continues to assert his fraud claims.
The FBI is investigating an alleged election security breach in Mesa County, Colorado, which is one of the reasons for his defamation disputes. The FBI seized his cell phone in connection with the investigation, but it is not clear if he is under direct investigation or if the FBI believes he committed any crimes. A federal judge has denied his request to get his phone back.
The lawsuit against Mike Lindell will move forward now that the court has allowed it.
There are court rules that can move forward the lawsuits against Sidney Powell.
The CEO of MyPillow was sued by a voting rights group for defamation.
