What’s with the Lawsuit?
Eric Coomer, the former security and product strategy director for Dominion, sued Clay Clark in federal district court in Denver for conspiracy, defamation, and intentional distress. He believes that Clark’s allegations like Coomer and Dominion helping President Joe Biden ‘steal’ the election are baseless. Coomer also alleges that Clark said Coomer deserves death punishment for treason.
The lawsuit lists the name of Clark Clay and claims that he defamed Eric Coomer by making statements in front of live audiences that Coomer and Dominion were involved in voter fraud. According to the lawsuit, Clay said that Joe Biden was elected because of this fraud. According to Coomer’s filing, Dominion Voting Systems provide support for election in at least 30 states. So you can see how serious this allegation is and why Coomer filed the lawsuit.
