The January 6 select committee subpoenaed records from Mike Lindell, a person in the former President's circle.
The subpoena asks for all records of communication from November 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021.
The CEO of My Pillow filed a lawsuit against the committee, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the company that gave him the information.
According to the lawsuit, Lindell is trying to invalidate the Subpoena on several grounds. He wants to review the information in the subpoena before the Select Committee gets any documents, so that he can assert any applicable claim of attorney-client or other privilege before the information is produced.
The January 6 "Save America" rally and the ensuing Capitol riot were not part of any meetings that Lindell was involved in. Daniel Beck, the CEO of Idaho-based Txtwire, posted a picture on his Facebook page showing him with Lindell at a meeting at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, on January 5, 2021.
The Trump hotel is amazing. Beck wrote on his Facebook page that fifteen of them spent the evening with Donald Trump Jr., Kim Guilfoyle, Tommy Tuberville, Michael J. Lindell, Peter Navarro, and Rudy Giuliani. We talked about the elections, illegal votes, court cases, and what to expect tomorrow. The president will retire.
The January 6 committee was "garbage", according to Lindell, who spoke to Insider on Wednesday night. He denied being at the meeting, saying Beck was either lying or misrepresenting.
I wasn't there. I was in Virginia. I was walking through the lobby on my way to a dinner in Virginia if Beck saw me. People have asked me about it, and I've shown them a picture of me in two places at the same time.
He was not there on January 6.
I'm not wasting my time on any garbage. This is a corrupt subpoena to get my phone records. I don't give them my records, but I have nothing to hide. What happened to our right of free speech? He said that. People who think this is a normal Democrat party are mistaken. China attacked our country. This is the largest crime ever.
MyPillow is counter-suing Dominion for $1.6 billion because of the defamation lawsuit they are facing.
In December, he told Insider that he had spent $25 million on voter-fraud claims.
He said he would spend everything he had and sell everything he had.
There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. In order to convince more people that voter fraud did occur, Lindell has held a number of events, including a 96-hour live stream.
On Tuesday, Sebastian Gorka filed a lawsuit to stop the release of his phone records. The January 6 committee used congressional power to intimidate and stifle his political speech.
