Court Fines Election Denier Joe Oltmann $1,000 Per Day Until He Discloses Evidence

Joe Oltmann, a conservative activist, has been ordered to pay $1,000 daily due to his failure to present evidence supporting his allegations of election rigging.

Oltmann is involved in a defamation suit filed by Eric Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, who alleges Oltmann spread false claims about the 2020 election.

In 2020, Oltmann argued that he heard an “Antifa conference call” where an employee of Dominion Voting Systems suggested the election was rigged in Biden’s favor.

“Oltmann has repeatedly flouted orders—not only in this case, but in others as well—requiring him to answer questions pertaining to who gave him access to the alleged ‘Antifa call’ and Coomer’s private Facebook account,” according to court records.

“Oltmann explicitly acknowledged during his deposition and his podcast later that day that he knew about the orders but refused to comply with them, even though he was aware he might be jailed for his noncompliance,” court documents say.

Despite being subpoenaed in February, Oltmann has not presented any evidence to support his accusations and has ignored court orders regarding the disclosure of information related to an “Antifa conference call.”

The court determined that his noncompliance warranted increased daily fines because previous penalties were deemed ineffective.

Oltmann, known for his involvement in the “Stop the Steal” movement, has faced criticism for his defiance and has publicly acknowledged his refusal to comply with court mandates.
