Mike Lindell confirms contact with Trump over DOJ intervention in election denier’s case

The MAGA movement is in celebration mode over the Justice Department decision to step in and review the election tampering conviction involving far-right conspiracy theorist Tina Peters – and they are also lauding the players that helped make it happen.

That reportedly includes MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has been propped up among election-deniers as one of a handful of prominent MAGA enthusiasts who have personally reached out to President Donald Trump to back Peters, a former Colorado clerk and recorder serving a nine-year prison sentence.

Lindell himself acknowledged to the Colorado Times Recorder on Tuesday that he talked with the president, but remained tight-lipped on the details.

“Reached via text, Lindell confirmed that he spoke with Trump and reiterated his long-standing support of Peters, but declined to provide details of his conversation with the President,” the publication reported.

“I have helped Tina and will continue to do everything I can to free her,” Lindell told the Colorado Times Recorder. “She is a hero and is a political prisoner of evil [Colorado Secretary of State] Jena Griswold (who I am hoping to melt down the voting machines into prison bars and Jena is behind them!)”

Lindell added that while he would not disclose his private discussion with Trump, he continued on with his rant by throwing insults at the Colorado justice system and Eric Coomer, a former employee of Dominion Voting Systems who dragged Lindell into a defamation lawsuit.

“I get upset about the whole Colorado corruption … also Eric Coomer (another evil criminal) Even the Colorado judges are corrupt!”

Lindell’s staunch support for Peters comes as no surprise. After she was sentenced in October, Lindell reportedly called it “one of the biggest injustices this country has ever seen.”

The development comes as the Justice Department announced Monday it would intervene in Peters' case involving her tampering with voting machines she oversaw as she unsuccessfully sought to prove her theory that the 2020 election was rigged against Trump, according to media reports.
