DETROIT — A federal judge in Michigan on Tuesday blocked an attempt by MyPillow founder Mike Lindell to obtain an array of election records from Kent County and required Lindell to pay the county's legal fees.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Phillip Green in Michigan's Western District issued his order after a hearing Tuesday on a motion to block the subpoena from the office of Kent County Clerk Lisa Posthumus Lyons. Green cited "reasons stated on the record" during the hearing for his decision to impose sanctions on Lindell and MyPillow.
Lindell and MyPillow will have to pay Kent County's attorney’s fees and other costs incurred in bringing the motion to block the subpoena, according to the judge's order.
