A former executive at Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems filed a federal defamation lawsuit Wednesday against far-right talk show host Clay Clark, as well as his ReAwaken America Tour and ThriveTime show.
The suit alleges that the defendants, through the traveling tour and a series of nationally published interviews, “monetized a false election fraud narrative” and “prompted a constant drumbeat of outright falsehoods intended to place (Eric) Coomer at the center of an imagined conspiracy to defraud the American people.”
Coomer, the former director of strategy and security for Dominion, has been the target of unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The allegations originated with prominent right-wing activist Joe Oltmann, a Coloradan.
