The attorneys defending Mike Lindell and his business against defamation claims from voting machine companies are seeking to sever ties with the 'MyPillow Guy' over millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees.

In the latest legal development for conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, his company was ordered to pay attorney’s fees in the fallout from litigation over his challenge to disprove his 2020 election fraud claim. Back in February, a federal judge approved a $5 million award against Lindell’s company in the so-called Prove Mike Wrong challenge.

The latest litigation concerned Zeidman’s request for attorney’s fees connected with bringing a motion to compel responses during discovery. Zeidman sought $12,800, but the court found he was entitled to $4,508, with the judge applying a lower hourly rate than Zeidman requested and noting that his discovery requests were overbroad and contributed to the costs he incurred.
