April 25, 2025 – Attorneys for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell are under fire after a federal judge raised concerns about their use of artificial intelligence in drafting a legal brief for a defamation lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Nina Wang has placed Lindell’s legal team “on notice,” citing numerous errors and inconsistencies in a brief related to a lawsuit filed by Eric Coomer, CEO of Dominion Voting Systems. Lindell has been a vocal proponent of unsubstantiated claims regarding the 2020 election.
According to Judge Wang’s ruling, the brief contains over 30 defective citations, including misquotes, misrepresentations of legal principles, and, most alarmingly, citations to cases that do not exist.
“The Court identified nearly thirty defective citations in the Opposition. These defects include but are not limited to misquotes of cited cases; misrepresentations of principles of law associated with cited cases, including discussions of legal principles that simply do not appear within such decisions; misstatements regarding whether case law originated from a binding authority such as the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit; misattributions of case law to this District; and most egregiously, citation of cases that do not exist,” Wang stated.
Judge Wang has demanded an explanation from attorney Christopher Kachouroff and his colleagues, warning of potential license suspension for non-compliance.
She further noted, “Not until this Court asked Mr. Kachouroff directly whether the Opposition was the product of generative artificial intelligence did Mr. Kachouroff admit that he did, in fact, use generative artificial intelligence. After further questioning, Mr. Kachouroff admitted that he failed to cite check the authority in the Opposition after such use before filing it with the Court—despite understanding his obligations under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”
The court order requires Kachouroff to address, under oath and subject to perjury penalties, the specifics of the brief’s preparation, including whether Lindell approved the use of AI.
Kachouroff has been given until May 5th to respond to Judge Wang’s order.
