According to the lawsuit, the FBI violated his rights when they seized his phone at a drive-through.
The FBI is alleged to have violated the rights of MyPillow CEO.
The FBI seized his phone at a drive-through at a fast food joint as he returned from a duck hunting trip.
After federal agents surrounded his truck to execute a warrant to seize his phone, he was prepared to ram one of the vehicles to escape.
He was not allowed to leave until he handed over his phone.
Tina Peters, the Mesa County, Colorado, election official who was indicted earlier this year for allegedly tampering with voting machines, was refused his requests to call his attorney by agents.
The government had to have been tracking him for the FBI to have been able to execute the search warrant at the restaurant, as he did not publicly announce his plans to visit.
The government should not be allowed to use or release any data obtained from the cellphone as a result of the lawsuit.
Many of Trump's closest allies have found themselves in hot water over their claims of election fraud. He claims that he has been canceled by major retailers because of his claims of voter fraud and that he has been sued for defamation by two companies. He is a vocal opponent of computerized voting systems, which he believes enabled fraud in the 2020 election. He claims to have proof that the election was stolen from Trump but his evidence has not stood up to scrutiny.
It's not clear if he's under investigation or if agents are questioning him about his ties to Peters. An image copied from a voting machine, allegedly by Peters, was uploaded to Frank Speech, a site he operates, though later retracted the statement and said he had been mistaken, according to the New York Times. The case against Peters, who has pleaded not guilty to charges over a ploy to download data from voting machines, is one of several involving people accessing voting machines to retrieve data that could possibly prove a conspiracy theory.
Trump claims that the CEO of MyPillow was aided by the FBI after his cell phone was taken.
The Republican nomination for Colorado Secretary of State was lost by a voter fraud believer.
MyPillow CEO says retailers have dropped the brand due to his baseless voter fraud claims.
