FBI agents grabbed My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell’s phone at a fast-food restaurant.

Mike Lindell, a my pillow salesman who enthusiastically endorsed Donald Trump’s claim that the election was rigged, claimed he was compelled to give the FBI agents who encircled him at a fast-food drive-through his phone.

Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, was waiting in queue at a Hardee’s location in his hometown of Mankato, Minnesota, on Tuesday after returning from a hunting trip.

The conspiracist said on his website programme, the Lindell Report, that the cars that were pulling up in front of, beside, and behind us were either evil men or the FBI. It turns out that they were the FBI, though.

Lindell claimed that the agents questioned him on Tina Peters, a fellow election sceptic who in June lost a Republican race to become the state’s top election official and is currently being prosecuted in Colorado for interfering with the voting system while serving as a county clerk.

Lindell ran a campaign for Peters, who was barred from overseeing elections in Mesa county by a judge in May.

The FBI said that agents were “at that location executing a search warrant authorised by a federal judge” but did not provide any information.

A close buddy of Trump’s, Lindell has been widely mocked for his repeated assertions that he has enough “evidence” to see Trump restored to the president. Lindell is one of the biggest supporters of Trump’s phoney claims that Joe Biden’s defeat in the 2020 election was fixed.

In his pursuit, Lindell acknowledged earlier this month that he had invested up to $40 million of his own funds, including funding legal actions in various states to try to overturn voting equipment that, in his opinion, were to blame for Trump’s defeat.

His claims are unsupported by any proof, and Lindell has lost multiple legal battles involving devices made by Dominion and Smartmatic.

A Dominion Voting Systems employee filed a defamation lawsuit against Lindell in April, claiming he was involved in “efforts to undermine faith in American democracy and enrich himself in the process.”

Tuesday, Lindell said that the FBI had asked for his phone, which he finally turned over after consulting an attorney.

They encircled him at a Hardee’s My Pillow and grabbed his phone, which he used to do all of his business. “It’s horrible what they’ve done, weaponizing the FBI. I don’t have a computer, and everyone had that phone.

In a subsequent interview, Lindell claimed that he was taken aback when the agents began questioning Peters because he had My Pillow believed they were going to serve him with a subpoena as part of the justice department’s investigation into the 6 January uprising and other attempts to overturn Trump’s election loss.

I said, “Bring me to January 6. He claimed to have informed them, “I want to be a part of that programme.

They believed they were there to terrorise me. I won’t let them frighten me.

For the record, they were really kind guys, I just want to express that. They were all without attitude.
