The three words no one wants to hear — “You’ve Been Served” — were just what Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, heard during a live TV interview.
Lindell appeared to be served legal documents during a live TV interview Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, per The Hill.
In a video of the incident, a woman is seen approaching Lindell while he was on air and attempting to hand him documents while saying, “You’ve been served.”
“We’re on TV, please,” Lindell said repeatedly. “I’m not accepting.”
He eventually grabbed the documents and tossed them aside.
Watch:
The “service of process” is the official way to notify a person that they are being sued and requires a response from the defendant in the case. It was unclear whether these were real legal documents.
Lindell was participating in CPAC’s annual meeting of conservative leaders and voters in Grapevine, Texas.
Lindell is one of several Republican speakers at the three-day conference. He is expected to speak Friday. Other speakers include Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Lindell has been a staunch supporter of the Trump administration’s policies.
He has repeated Trump’s claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election, resulting in several lawsuits against his company.
A federal judge in Minnesota ruled in September that Lindell defamed an election technology company with his claims of voter fraud, the outlet reported. A federal appeals court ruled in Lindell’s favor in a separate case involving his claim that China interfered in the 2020 election’s results.
Lindell announced he was running for governor of Minnesota last December to replace Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, who has endorsed Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a fellow Democrat.
In a Thursday post on X, Lindell defended himself from past legal attacks.
“They surrounded my car and took my phone. Then came the subpoenas, debanking, and attacks on MyPillow. We lost 90% of our business.
“I’m not backing down, because if we lose our elections, we lose our country,” Lindell wrote.
