BOISE (Idaho Statesman) — Three months after a state investigation disproved MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s accusations of voter fraud in Idaho, the information remains on Lindell’s website. Idaho government officials want it gone.
They also want Lindell to pay the state for the money it spent proving Lindell’s allegations wrong.
Secretary of State Lawerence Denney and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden sent a cease-and-desist letter to Lindell on Tuesday. They asked Lindell to “promptly remove all false statements about Idaho’s elections from your website” and “refrain from making similar statements in the future.”
“Despite knowing your statements about Idaho’s elections are false, you have not removed your ‘Big Lie’ chart and continue to perpetuate your false statements,” the letter stated.
Idaho is also coming for Lindell’s wallet. The letter requested he send $6,558.83 to the secretary of state’s office to cover the money it spent refuting his claims. The office first announced plans to seek payment in October.
The Idaho Statesman reached out to Lindell by email but received no response as of Wednesday evening.
Since Trump lost the 2020 election, there has perhaps been no voice besides Trump’s louder than Lindell’s when it comes to claims that the election was “stolen.”
