- MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has filed a lawsuit after FBI agents seized his cell phone while he was sitting at the drive-thru window of a Hardee's in Mankato.

The suit, filed Tuesday names FBI director Christopher Wray as defendant, alongside U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the United States of America.

The suit alleges that the federal agents "had no authority to detain and question Mr. Lindell against his will," and that Lindell's First Amendment rights were violated because of "his efforts to inform the public about alleged fraud and alleged irregularities he believes occurred in order to bring an end to the dependence on computerized voting and tabulating machines in elections."

It also claims that authorities were tracking Lindell using location services in violation of Lindell's Fourth Amendment rights in the stop and seizure, as well as his Fifth Amendment rights to due process, as well as the Sixth Amendment......

Dominion and Smartmatic, two companies that produce electronic voting machines, are suing Lindell for defamation; his own countersuits against them have been dismissed, as have dozens of other claims of alleged election fraud across the country.
