Mike Lindell’s MyPillow owes so much money in back rent that a judge allowed a landlord’s request on Tuesday to evict the company from a Minnesota warehouse, the Star Tribune reported. Four default notices were sent to MyPillow over the last six months, with the landlord of the Shakopee warehouse providing evidence in eviction court that the company owes more than $200,000 in unpaid rent and is behind on both February and March payments. “MyPillow has more or less vacated but we’d like to do this by the book,” Sara Filo, an attorney for Delaware-based landlord First Industrial, said at a hearing, according to the Star Tribune. “At this point there’s a representation that no further payment is going to be made under this lease, so we’d like to go ahead with finding a new tenant.” A representative for MyPillow was missing in court, and no comments were made to the Star Tribune by both Lindell and First Industrial attorneys. The eviction is the latest headache for Lindell, who claims his coffers have been drained as the die-hard Trump supporter continues to push the debunked theory that the 2020 election was rigged.
