Mike Lindell claims he tried to 'get arrested' for Jan. 6 — even though he wasn't there

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed in a recent interview that he asked to be arrested for the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, even though he wasn't present at the time.

During a Sunday interview with right-wing broadcaster Mike Gallagher, Lindell recounted how the FBI presented him with a warrant for his phone in 2022 connected to a case about election tampering in Mesa County, Colorado.

Lindell pointed out that he was in a Hardee's drive-thru when the FBI confronted him to take the phone into custody.
