MyPillow founder and 2020 presidential election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell said Tuesday night that FBI agents seized his cellphone in southern Minnesota — an action at least partly corroborated by the agency.
The exact legal context of Tuesday evening’s events in Mankato weren’t entirely clear, but the FBI confirmed it executed a “search warrant authorized by a federal judge” in an action that involved both Minnesota and Colorado agents.
According to Lindell, FBI agents took his cellphone in his hometown of Mankato with a federal warrant related to Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems material he might be in possession of. Dominion is suing Lindell for defamation, one of several lawsuits Lindell is embroiled in over his baseless claims of election fraud that, in his words, “stole” the 2020 election from former President Donald Trump, whom Lindell advised at various times.
