Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow and a known ally of former President Donald Trump, has requested a U.S. appeals court to overturn a $5 million award granted to a man who successfully debunked his claims of election fraud from the 2020 presidential election. Lindell's appeal is directed at the 8th Circuit Court, seeking to reduce the financial penalty imposed as part of the 'Prove Mike Wrong' challenge he initiated in 2021, which aimed to prove that Joe Biden's election victory was due to foreign interference. Additionally, Smartmatic has expressed frustration over Lindell's delays in addressing sanctions related to a previous election-related lawsuit deemed frivolous.
