In an interview with the HuffPost -- that ended with the MyPillow CEO hanging up -- Mike Lindell touted his plan to conduct a Thanksgiving weekend marathon unveiling the evidence he has collected proving Donald Trump was robbed of re-election but refused to offer up the names of lawyers who handed him a mysterious letter he handed to Trump following the Jan 6th insurrection.
As the HuffPost's S.V. Date reports, the vociferous Lindell was more than willing to talk about what Date calls his "Black Friday stunt" but clammed up when asked about some his interactions with the former president.
With the report noting that the businessman is considered a "person of interest" by the House Select Committee looking into the Capitol riot, Lindell claims he hasn't heard from them and is not worried.
"Lindell said he has not been contacted by the committee and 'could care less' if the two-page letter he delivered to Trump on Jan. 15, nine days after the Trump-incited mob attacked the Capitol, is among the material turned over. 'What does that have to do with me?' he said," Date reports before adding, "Lindell claimed he met with Trump primarily to give him four pages of 'proof' that the election had been hacked by China but also handed over an envelope he said was given to him by two lawyers to give to Trump."
Pressed by the HuffPost for the names of those lawyers, Lindell reportedly pushed back, saying, "None of your business. Are you out of your mind?" before adding he has no idea what was contained in the letter, explaining, "It was given to me in confidence…. I had never read it. I had never looked at it."
During the interview, Lindell claimed that he has a multitude of "state attorneys general signing on to his lawsuit" which he hopes to present to the Supreme Court, but once again refused to provide names, saying he was protecting them from "attacks."
Pressed further, he shot back, "I'm not going to give you their names! Are you kidding?" before saying their names would be revealed when they "sign the lawsuit together on Nov. 23, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving."
The report goes on to note that Lindell ended the interview abruptly by hanging up when asked the election results in Georgia, with Date writing, "When HuffPost asked how the paper ballot hand recount in Georgia that confirmed Biden's win there was compatible with his computer hacking theory, Lindell grew angry and hung up."
