Eric Coomer, a former employee of Dominion Voting Systems, has filed a lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who once accused him of being a national traitor.
Lawyers for Coomer, the former director of product strategy and security at Dominion, filed a defamation case against the pillow CEO and his platform on April 4. At a mini-rally he hosted in Denver, Colorado, on behalf of indicted clerk Tina Peters, he was served with the lawsuit.

In the complaint, Coomer alleged that his reputation had been damaged by Frank Speech and Lindell. Coomer said that Lindell had posted a sales pitch for products from MyPillow along with a number of false statements.
In August, Coomer said that Lindell made claims about him at the pillow CEO's cyber-symposium in South Dakota, where he spent 72 hours pushing debunked voter-fraud claims.
Despite baseless claims of election fraud being disproven by credible authorities across political parties, they persist in their campaign to profit from the Big Lie by destroying the lives of private individuals like Dr. Coomer.
The filing said that Coomer received a lot of death threats, which they attributed to the unwarranted distrust he had of the people around him.
Coomer has sued the Trump campaign for defamation.
When asked about the lawsuit and the possibility of being sued by more individuals linked to the company, he said that people like Coomer were trying to cancel his voice.
MyPillow and Frank Speech did nothing. I don't know if I've mentioned Eric Coomer before.
According to Insider, Coomer was mentioned on the Frank Speech platform last year. In September, Lindell appeared on Frank Speech and urged Coomer to surrender to the authorities for a reduced prison term.
"Eric Coomer, if I were you right now, instead of going over and making deals at Newsmax, I would be turning myself in and turning in the whole operation," he said.
Coomer is not facing any criminal indictments, so it is unclear what Lindell was referring to.
You are disgusting and traitorous. You betrayed the United States of America. I can say that, just like I can about Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger. There is evidence. It is sitting there.
There are a number of lawsuits against him. He is being sued by two voting tech companies. In a January court filing, the company stated that there is no realistic possibility of it agreeing to settle its lawsuit with the company.
