Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow and an ally to former President Donald Trump, stated that his phone records had been subpoenaed from the House committee looking into the cause of the deadly riot which took place Jan. 6.

After CNBC last month reported that Lindell had spent $2.5 million, the revelation was made by CNBC. $25 million since Election Day2020 will push fake claims of electoral fraud.

Lindell sent a text message on Wednesday to CNBC, announcing that he was not there for the January 6th subpoena of my cell phone records.

As Congress worked to confirm Joe Biden’s win in the presidential election, hundreds of Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill. After a rally that he headed, Trump encouraged the crowd to march on Capitol Hill.

In a telephone interview, Lindell stated to CNBC that Wednesday was the date he filed the lawsuit in Minneapolis federal court. The notice was sent by Verizon to him about the subpoena 10 days before he filed it. Lindell also stated that he was informed by the committee that his telephone records were required from November through January.

Representatives from the House committee refused to comment. Verizon representatives didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Lindell is the latest Trump ally to attempt to use legal systems to prevent the release his phone records. Former Trump national security advisor Mike Flynn, who was previously pardoned by the then-commander-in-chief after pleading guilty to federal charges, sued the committee after it subpoenaed his records.Sebastian Gorka, a former White House adviser, also filed suit in a similar effort.

Trump has maintained his public support for the absurd idea of widespread fraud in the campaign that helped Biden win. Trump and his supporters made similar false claims at a rally outside the White House on Jan. 6. As Congress attempted to verify Biden’s electoral college wins, Trump’s supporters marched up the Capitol.

Many federal and state officials, such as Trump’s former Attorney-General William Barr, said there wasn’t widespread voter fraud.

Lindell claims he did not have anything to do with the Jan. 6 insurrection, but he was reported to have been at several pro-Trump events during the days preceding the revolt.

Numerous people claimed Lindell was present at Trump International Hotel, Washington D.C., Jan. 5 with former adviser Peter Navarro and Rudy Giuliani, as well as other Trump allies like Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, and others to discuss matters relating to election.

CNBC interviewed Lindell on Wednesday to confirm that he had never been at the meeting. Lindell said that he had stayed in the hotel prior to going to Virginia’s gathering.

Txtwire’s CEO Daniel Beck described the gathering in a post on Facebook published one day prior to the riot.

“Fifteen people spent the evening together with Donald Trump Jr. Kimberly Guilfoyle Tommy Tuberville Michael J. Lindell Peter Navarro and Rudy Giuliani. Talking about illegal votes and court cases, elections, status of the republics, as well as what we can expect tomorrow on the hill, we also discussed the election results. TRUMP WILL RETEND THE PRESIDENCY!”The post says.

Charles Herbster (a Republican candidate for Nebraska governor) also placed Lindell in the same group Jan. 5. at the Trump hotel.

Lindell stated to the Washington crowd of December that he had been in contact with Trump’s legal advisers (such as Sidney Powell) after the election.

Sidney Powell said, “I spoke to her last night, and she told me that it was in the Supreme Court. Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona are the actual lawsuits. The stuff Texas had wasn’t the one we were working on.” Lindell told the crowd.
