Liberty Vote drops suit against Mike Lindell

What we know:

Now called Liberty Vote, the company dropped its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Lindell and MyPillow with prejudice. This means the case is permanently closed and cannot be refiled. 

The stipulation, signed by attorneys for both sides, states, "Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs." 

Background on the lawsuit and parties involved

The backstory:

The dispute was part of a series of lawsuits following the 2020 presidential election, with voting technology companies and public figures facing off in court over claims related to election integrity and defamation. According to the original complaint, Lindell claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and that Dominion's voting machines were part of it.

What we don't know:

The filing does not explain the reasons for the dismissal or provide details about any potential settlement terms, beyond the agreement that each side will pay its own costs.
