| Legal Representation Withdraws from MyPillow's Michael Lindell Over Outstanding Fees in Millions |
Mike Lindell, well-known for promoting election conspiracy theories and as the founder of MyPillow, is grappling with severe financial troubles that have led two law firms representing him to seek withdrawal from his legal defense. The legal firms, Parker Daniels Kibort from Minnesota and Lewin and Lewin from Washington, have informed federal judges in Washington and St. Paul that Lindell and his company owe them millions of dollars in legal fees related to defamation lawsuits filed against Lindell by voting machine manufacturers Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, as well as a former Dominion employee.
In court filings, attorney Andrew Parker stated that MyPillow began falling behind on payments to his law firm in the current year, with only partial payments made in recent months. Parker revealed that his firm had issued warnings in August and September 2023, informing Lindell and his company that failure to clear outstanding invoices and maintain regular payments would result in the firm withdrawing from representing them.
Parker's statement emphasized the substantial debt owed, amounting to millions of dollars, stating, "At this time, Defendants are in arrears millions of dollars to PDK."
In an interview with POLITICO, Lindell openly admitted to not paying his legal team and expressed understanding regarding their decision to withdraw their services, commending their initial willingness to take on his case. Lindell cited financial difficulties faced by his company in recent months, primarily due to American Express reducing his credit line from $1 million to $100,000. As a result, Lindell explained that he has had to allocate his available funds to cover his company's payroll expenses.
He added, "The legal battles have drained our financial resources, and it appears that was their intention all along. It's appalling."
Although Lindell mentioned his efforts to secure new legal representation, he expressed uncertainty about the prospects, noting that potential lawyers might be hesitant to take on his case. He concluded, "I don't know where to go from here."
