Mike Lindell 'constantly scolded' by judge for not answering questions
A federal judge reportedly scolded MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Tuesday for repeatedly rambling with long monologues instead of answering questions on the stand.
According to Kyle Clark of 9 News, U.S. District Court Judge Nina Wang became upset with Lindell during his second day of testimony.
"Lindell’s counsel is trying to guide him through how he came to believe elections are rigged. Lindell is being constantly scolded by the judge for not directly answering questions and going on monologues," Clark reported on Tuesday.
Lindell and his MyPillow company were facing trial after being sued for defamation by former voting machine executive Eric Coomer, whom he called "disgusting" and a "traitor."
"Lindell testifies he has called 50-100 people a traitor, including journalists," Clark noted. "Now to his 'crimes against humanity' claim about Coomer. Says it also applies to two journalists in the room," Clark noted.
The pillow executive also stated that he was "devastated" after presenting voting machine evidence at the White House, but President Donald Trump chose not to take action.
On his first day of testimony, Lindell told the jury that he had spent all of his money on his crusade against voting machines.
“I went from a net worth of $50 million to $10 million in the hole, and I’ve lost everything,” Lindell complained. "I personally have nothing left in the world... We've been raising funds since we ran completely out of money."
