Mike Lindell, best known for founding MyPillow, has never been shy about expressing his political views — but now, he’s adding a spiritual layer to his claims about the 2020 election.
Speaking outside a Denver courtroom where he’s currently facing a defamation lawsuit, Lindell went beyond politics, declaring that the real force behind the election outcome wasn’t just foreign actors or political enemies — but Satan himself.
“A Battle Between Good and Evil”
Standing outside the courthouse, Lindell painted a dramatic picture of the post-election landscape.
He told reporters that the 2020 election wasn’t simply about Democrats vs. Republicans — it was about a much bigger, biblical struggle.
“We’re in a battle of biblical proportions,” he said, emphasizing that the stakes were about good and evil, not party politics.
“When you ask who’s really behind this? Satan — that’s one,” he declared. “This is a nation that turned its back on God.”
The Long Road of Election Fraud Claims
Lindell has spent the last four years traveling across the U.S., trying to convince the public that Joe Biden’s win was the result of a fraudulent process.
He’s blamed a wide array of forces — including the “Deep State,” globalists, and even the Chinese Communist Party — for what he sees as a rigged election.
Interestingly, despite all of this, Lindell insists he isn’t blaming the Democratic Party directly.
“You’ve never heard me bashing the Democrats over the last four years,” he said.
“I think the real culprits are the uniparty, the Deep State, the globalists, and the CCP.”
Facing Legal and Financial Fallout
Lindell’s accusations haven’t come without consequences.
He’s currently the defendant in a defamation case brought by Eric Coomer, a former executive at Dominion Voting Systems — the company at the center of many of these fraud allegations.
Dominion has already won a major settlement: Fox News paid $787 million in 2023 after being sued over similar claims. Now, Lindell is in the hot seat.
Jury selection in his trial began this week, with opening statements expected shortly.
And it’s not just this one lawsuit — Lindell is also dealing with separate legal troubles involving another voting technology company, Smartmatic.
All of this, he says, has taken a serious toll on his finances.
“I’m in ruins,” he told a federal judge last month.
The IRS and the $10 Million COVID “Cure”
Adding to his legal troubles, Lindell is also facing scrutiny from the IRS.
At the center of this dispute is a $10 million investment he made during the early days of the pandemic.
Back in 2020, Lindell purchased large quantities of a substance derived from the Oleander plant, which he believed could help treat COVID-19.
He says he paid for it out of his own pocket and tried to send it to countries like Israel, the Philippines, and Brazil — but it was never approved by the FDA and now sits unused in a warehouse.
“I put $10 million up to save the country, and instead I was attacked,” Lindell said, adding that he wants to write off the now-worthless inventory on his taxes.
According to him, IRS agents even visited the warehouse and photographed the stockpile.
That led to an audit — or, as Lindell describes it, “just arguing over that deduction.”
Did Someone Step In on His Behalf?
The Washington Post reported earlier this year that a political appointee in the Treasury Department may have contacted the IRS to intervene after Lindell received a second audit letter — potentially on behalf of a “high-profile friend of the president.”
Lindell, however, pushed back on the report.
He denies being subject to a second audit and claims he’s the one who contacted the IRS in the first place.
“They went there, took pictures, and it never got used,” he said.
Taking It to Trump — Face to Face
Despite all the controversy, Lindell still has a direct line to former President Trump.
As recently as last month, he met with Trump during the National Day of Prayer at the White House.
During their meeting, Lindell said he urged Trump to address an obscure tax issue that’s affecting small business owners — including himself.
What’s Next?
With the defamation trial now officially underway and financial pressure mounting, Lindell’s future remains uncertain.
But one thing’s clear: he has no plans to back down from his claims, no matter how far-reaching — or spiritual — they may be.
As he put it, “Whatever happens next is up to God. It’s much bigger than all of us.”
