The CEO of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, posted on his account X from the interior of a federal courtroom seven times on the first day of his defamation trial, which ignores the strict rules to prevent such an activity, according to a judicial file at the end of the evening on Tuesday.
The lawyer’s lawyers, the former director of Dominion voting systems, Eric Coomer, informed the judge of the American district court Nina Y. Wang about Lindell’s non-compliance, which could potentially lead to sanctions against him.
In addition, Lindell, who faces civil defamation allegations, has broadcast interviews and live opinions on his personal television network, Lindell TV, on the steps of the Federal Court building in downtown Denver.
The area is considered to be a public property. He walked forward to the courthouse under a tarpaulin where a media team interviews it during lunch.
According to the applicant’s file, Lindell told an interviewer who worked for his network that the procedure was boring.
“If I am the jury, I am a little bored,” said Lindell. Cooming “Talk about the interior of the machines (voting) and the things that we have never been able to see, right?”
“Tweeting” and “real -time communication” from the interior of the courtroom and the building corridors are strictly prohibited, in accordance with the preliminary prescription of Wang issued on May 20.
In One X Post, made at 2:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Lindell wrote that he “did not even know who was this type (Coomer) that after Mypillow was attacked”.
Coomer lawyers have suggested that civil sanctions or a kind of sanction could prevent Lindell from breaking the rules of the court.
Wednesday morning, Wang reminded Lindell not to publish on social networks, to issue public declarations or to do other interviews on the trial. She said that she was concerned about the effect of such communications could have on witnesses and jurors.
Lindell verbally agreed to refrain from this conduct.
