Dominion Voting Systems spokesman Michael Steel said Sunday that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is “asking to be sued” for spreading unfounded allegations of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election and accusing Dominion of being an accomplice.
CNN’s Brian Stelter asked Steel about “reliable sources” if and when additional lawsuits were expected from the voting systems company, which has already sued pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and former President Trump

“I’m not here to make news on this front,” Steel replied. “But let me say that Mike Lindell is asking to be sued, and at some point we might force him to.”
Trump and his allies, including Lindell, had been denouncing allegations against Dominion for months, alleging without producing evidence that the company was responsible for changing votes in the presidential race to benefit President Biden.
Domain has already threatened Lindell, along with several others, with “imminent” legal action, accusing the CEO of having positioned himself [himself] as a prominent leader in the ongoing “disinformation campaign” that the fraud led to the loss of Trump.
The CEO of MyPillow has declined, commenting on the former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon

He also aired a three-hour documentary highlighting his unfounded claims of election fraud on the One America News Network.
“I think he’s trying to get ahead of himself by spreading misinformation and spreading lies,” Steel told CNN. “This last” documentary “he aired is nothing more than the same old theories of half-baked conspiracy. And the truth is bringing it up to date.”
MyPillow did not immediately return any feedback requests.
Dominion filed separate $ 1.3 billion defamation lawsuits against Powell and Giuliani last month and said there would be more to come. His rival company Smartmatic filed a $ 2.7 billion lawsuit against Giuliani, Powell, Fox News and some Fox News hosts last week.
To spread the claims, Lindell has been permanently suspended of Twitter and several stores that sold MyPillow products, such as Kohl’s and Bed Bath & Beyond, have stopped offering them.
