Trump supporter who peddles pillows Since the conclusion of the election in 2020, when Mike Lindell began pushing several false accusations that voting machines stole votes away from former President Donald Trump, he has been the target of a steady stream of defamation lawsuits, and he is currently facing a deluge of them.
An investigative reporter for the Washington Post named Chris Dehghanpoor brought attention on Friday to a video that was taken during a deposition that Lindell had with an attorney representing a Dominion Voting Systems employee named Eric Croomer. In the video, Lindell constantly lashes out at the lawyer.
The video shows the CEO of MyPillow responding angrily to even the most fundamental questions posed by the attorney. He even got agitated when the attorney only asked him to affirm that the two of them had only met one another a mere four minutes previous to the beginning of the taped deposition. The exchange may be seen in the video below.
Lindell quickly lost his cool after the attorney informed him that he was going to attempt to take the deposition slowly in order to make it easier for the court reporter to take down a transcript.
“Don’t sit there and lecture me already, you old coot!” Lindell gave a response in kind. I’ll do whatever it takes to get this job done… Don’t bother starting with me since you’re just another lawyer—more specifically, you’re a lawyer who follows around ambulances—I’ve got all day! I’ll wait as long as you need me to, so come on, let’s get going! You are not my employer; you are merely a lawyer, and a frivolous lawyer at that!
According to Dehghanpoor, Coomer has just this week produced a fresh document in which he calls for sanctions to be taken against Lindell on the grounds that Lindell has been “combative, vulgar, disrespectful, non-responsive, evasive, and consistently loud” throughout the depositions.
