MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's attorneys have declined to argue that his election-rigging claims are true at a defamation trial in Colorado this week.

According to a partial trial transcript provided by KUSA, defense attorney Chris Kachouroff told the jury on Tuesday that it was not necessary to prove Lindell's voting machine claims. Lindell, however, has promised his followers that he would use the trial to banish election computers.

"This morning, Lindell's attorneys told the jury in their defamation case, it doesn't matter if what Lindell said was true or not because he believed it to be true," KUSA's Kyle Clark noted on Tuesday.

The station obtained Kachouroff's statements to the jury.

"This trial is about whether Mike Lindell believed his statements were true at the time he made them," Kachouroff reportedly said. "It doesn't have to be true, but he has to believe at the time he made them that they were substantially true."

Former voting machine executive Eric Coomer is suing Lindell for defamation, allegedly stemming from the 2020 presidential election. Lindell accused Coomer of being a "traitor," the lawsuit said.

For his part, the former executive said he feared for his life and went into hiding for a "few months" due to Lindell's statements.
