"Supreme Court Rejects Mike Lindell's Election Challenge and Phone Seizure Case"

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear MyPillow founder Mike Lindell's challenge over the FBI's seizure of his cellphone at a restaurant drive-through, which was part of an investigation into an alleged scheme to breach voting system technology. Lindell alleged the confiscation violated his constitutional rights, but the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, stating that the litigation appeared to be a tactic to interfere with a criminal investigation. This decision adds to a series of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who is also facing defamation lawsuits and a $5 million arbitration award.
