MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell gives a thumbs up, April 4, 2023, in West Palm Beach, Fla. against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can't pay the millions more that he'll owe in legal expenses going forward.
Attorney Andrew Parker wrote in documents filed in federal court on Thursday that his firm and a second firm representing MyPillow in lawsuits by Smartmatic and can't afford what it would cost to represent Lindell and MyPillow through the rest of the litigation. Continuing to defend him would put the firms “in serious financial risk,” he wrote.that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems.
But he vowed to keep fighting and to keep MyPillow going. He said he doesn't have any other debts and has no plans to file for bankruptcy for himself or MyPillow.“I’m never going to stop trying to secure elections for this country ever,” Lindell said. The attorney said his firm, Parker Daniels Kibort, or PDK, warned Lindell and MyPillow in August and September that it would have to withdraw if the bills weren't paid.
