Federal judge affirms MyPillow's Mike Lindell must pay $5M in election data dispute

ST. PAUL, Minn. - A federal judge on Wednesday affirmed a $5 million arbitration award against MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell in favor of a software engineer who challenged data that Lindell said proves China interfered in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and tipped the outcome to Joe Biden.

Lindell said he plans to appeal. Asked if he can afford to pay, he pointed out that the breach-of-contract lawsuit was against one of his companies, Lindell Management LLC, and not against him personally.

''Of course we're going to appeal it. This guy doesn't have a dime coming,'' Lindell said.
