MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell revealed that he was being "attacked" by President Donald Trump's Internal Revenue Service — but refused to say why.
During a Monday appearance on the War Room broadcast, host Steve Bannon asserted that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was trying to take down Lindell's addiction "Recovery Network."
"He's not only attacked me, but also the IRS, everybody," Lindell explained. "And now I've got the Treasury Department involved because this could affect 80 percent of our country of all of you out there."
"And they picked on the wrong person and the wrong company," he continued. "We are pushing back, and we're gonna do everything we can proactively to get this, what they've come after us for, which we know is political in the first place."

Lindell insisted that he could not divulge the specifics of the IRS action against him.
"But it really does, Steve, affect everyone in the country," he said, "Once I can say what it is, right now I am working with the Treasury Department."
The pillow executive pointed out that Ellison's matter was "completely separate."
"There he attacked my Lindell Recovery Network and my foundations, my C3 and C4s," he remarked. "He made us get everything ready by midnight... I'm going, or what, they're gonna come and get me?"
"I mean, I don't know what his threat is or if it's an empty threat, but I just said, you know what, give it to them all," he added. "I have nothing to hide."
Lindell blamed the attacks on his crusade against Trump's loss in the 2020 election. He is on record blaming voting machines for "stealing" Trump's victory despite there being no evidence of widespread fraud.
"They don't want me talking about our election platforms," he insisted. "They don't want our election platforms to be secure. They want my voice to shut up once and for all, and it's not gonna happen."
Lindell has faced multiple IRS audits in previous years.
