Overview
- Liberty Vote, the company that bought Dominion Voting Systems, filed to dismiss the $1.3 billion defamation case against Mike Lindell and MyPillow on Monday and the court filing says the case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.
- Court documents and statements say the settlement is confidential and that each side will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, though no payment amounts or other terms were disclosed.
- The company changed ownership and its name to Liberty Vote after an October 2025 acquisition by a group led by former Republican elections director Scott Leiendecker, a change that company statements have tied to a shift toward paper-based ballot policies.
- Lindell remains legally exposed: a federal judge found he defamed Smartmatic and a Colorado jury awarded $2.3 million to a former Dominion employee, and those rulings and other financial judgments are separate from this settlement.
- Reports conflict on where the dismissal was filed, with some court records pointing to federal court in Minnesota and others to Washington, D.C., and the move closes one major legal front while leaving open possible political and financial consequences for both sides.
