Lindell, who founded MyPillow in 2004, has been a key ally for Trump and has continued to protest the 2020 election by pushing baseless claims and conspiracy theories. In May, he was been banned from Twitter for a second time after trying to use a new account. Lindell’s original account was permanently banned earlier in the year after he continued to perpetuate claims that Trump won.

On his podcast, “Frank Speech: The Lindell Report,” Lindell detailed how he was issued the subpoena while waiting for his food and was questioned about a Colorado clerk, Tina Peters, who is being charged in what prosecutors say was a “deceptive scheme” to breach voting system technology used across the country. Lindell said the papers he was served labeled it an “official criminal investigation of a suspected felony” with the use of a federal grand jury.
