A U.S. appeals court threw out a lower court order that required MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to pay $5 million to a man who said he debunked Lindell’s arguments about fraud during the 2020 general election, as part of a contest that was set up by the pillow magnate.
The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis said in a ruling on Wednesday that an arbitration panel improperly interpreted the rules of a contest Lindell set up and oversaw. The contest challenged anyone to disprove his claims that President Donald Trump won the election.
