Dominion Voting Systems on Monday filed a massive defamation lawsuit against businessman Mike Lendell, chief executive of My Pillow Inc.

For spreading false conspiracy theories that Dominion's machines rigged November's presidential election.

Basic passive voice

My pillow was named as a co defendant in the lawsuit.

Dominion filed the case in Washington federal court, and it's seeking $1.3 billion in damages in the lawsuit, lawyers for the Denver based company said.

Quote Acting in concert with allies and media outlets that were determined to curry favor with one of their biggest sponsors and to promote a false, preconceived narrative about the 2020 election, Lendell launched a defamatory marketing campaign about Dominion that reached millions of people and caused enormous harm to Dominion.

A My Pillow representative did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the lawsuit.

Similar lawsuits were filed against Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, two lawyers that promoted former President Donald Trump's baseless claims of widespread election fraud.

 Lendell, a devout support of Trump, financed post election protest movements in a bid to overturn President Joe Biden's victory.
