Description
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell said Tuesday on his podcast that FBI agents stopped him while he was at the drive-thru of a Mankato, Minnesota fast-food restaurant to question him about his alleged connections with a Colorado county clerk who is facing charges of plotting to breach voting system technology, and that the agents seized his cellphone. Lindell, a strong ally of former President Donald Trump, Tuesday posted copies on social media of the subpoena the FBI served him, as well as a warrant to seize his phone, reports Axios. In addition, he shared a letter with The Washington Times that he said the agents gave him along with the warrant. In it, the document said that an "official criminal investigation of a suspected felony is being conducted by an agency of the United States and a federal grand jury in the District of Colorado." He also displayed the letter on his podcast, "The Lindell Report" and said agents asked him about his relationship with Mesa County, Colorado, clerk Tina Peters and about his connections with Ohio educator Doug Frank, who claims voting machines were manipulated in the 2020 election. The FBI's office in Denver confirmed to CBS News Minnesota that the agency had served a search warrant at the Hardee's restaurant in Mankato, Minnesota Tuesday, but would not comment on the contents of the warrant, reports CBS News. But Patrick McSweeney, an attorney for Lindell, confirmed to CBS News that the subpoena was served and that his client's cellphone was seized. Trump blasted the FBI through his Truth Social page for questioning Lindell, commenting that he was "just raided by the FBI. We are now officially living in a Weaponized Police State, Rigged Elections, and all. Our Country is a laughing stock all over the World. The majesty of the United States is gone. Can't let this happen. TAKE BACK AMERICA!" Wow I wonder if I buy a pillow I will be put on a watch list as a domestic terrorist! Sounds stupid but it could happen. Who is that knocking on your door?
