Mike Lindell, the chief executive of MyPillow and staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has lost a defamation case brought by a former employee of a voting equipment company.
A jury in Denver, Colorado, ordered Mr Lindell to pay $2.3m (£1.7m) to Eric Coomer, a former security and product strategy director at Dominion Voting Systems.
Lindell falsely accused Mr Coomer of helping to rig the 2020 vote, which was won by Joe Biden. During the two-week trial, Lindell stuck by baseless claims that the election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Dominion itself has filed cases against several Trump allies who it accuses of spreading lies about the company's voting machines.
It is the latest plan by US President Donald Trump's family that looks to cash on his name.
