MIKE LINDELL: ‘The FBI Came After Me, Told Me Not To Tell Anybody’

Published on

Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow.com and personal friend and avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, told listeners of his show ‘The Lindell Report’ that the FBI has seized his cell phone.

Mr. Lindell, the Minnesota-born CEO of My Pillow said that he was returning from a hunting trip in Iowa Tuesday afternoon when his car was surrounded at a Hardee’s drive-thru in his hometown of Mankato in southern Minnesota.

“Cars pulled up in front of us, to the side of us, and behind us and I said those are either bad guys or the FBI,” Mr Lindell said. “Well, it turns out they were the FBI.”

Lindell also posted on social media a grand jury subpoena from a federal prosecutor in Colorado and what appears to be a search warrant. The Minnesota-born native said the FBI told him not to tell anybody that he was approached by the agency.

Lindell claimed the FBI was looking for information on fellow election fraud conspiracy theorist Dennis Montgomery, according to the Daily Beast.

“They are looking for the terabytes from Dennis Montgomery,” Lindell further told The Daily Beast. “I hope they lift the gag order.”

Lindell also expounded on his legal situation in a Tuesday night video.

“The FBI came after me and took my phone,” he said on Facebook. “They surrounded me in a Hardee’s and took my phone that I run all my business, everything with. What they’ve done is weaponize—the FBI, it’s disgusting. I don’t have a computer. Everything I do [is] off that phone. Everything was on there. And they told me not to tell anybody. Here’s an order: ‘Don’t tell anybody!’ ‘OK, I won’t!’ Well, I am.”

Lindell also showed a copy of a subpoena, dated Sept. 7 and signed by an assistant U.S. attorney in Colorado.

“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,” a document that Lindell claimed was a subpoena on his nightly show said. “As a subpoena recipient, you are not under an obligation of secrecy. However, we request that you not disclose the existence of this subpoena for an indefinite period of time.”

Lindell has previously been linked to at least one ongoing investigation in the state, related to campaign funds for his colleague and fellow election challenger Tina Peters.

Peters, a county clerk in Mesa County, is facing multiple felony charges for allegedly breaching her own county’s voting machines and leaking the data to conspiracy theorists. Shortly after the leak, Peters attended Lindell’s August 2021 “Cyber Symposium” on supposed voter fraud, after which she went into hiding in a series of Lindell’s “safe houses.”
