MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump loyalist Mike Lindell is racking up hundreds of dollars’ worth of court fines each night for spreading debunked conspiracy theories about Trump’s 2020 election loss.
He was held in contempt of court for failing to pay the judgment, and has been fined $500 every day since April 7, NBC News reported.
As of Thursday, Lindell had racked up $56,500 and counting in fines—more than the original unpaid judgment.
He told the court in January that he didn’t have the money to pay Smartmatic, despite his campaign spending $187,000 to buy his own books and finance other legal proceedings, NBC reported.
Truth Social/Donald J. TrumpBoth Trump and Lindell have spent years spreading lies about Trump’s 2020 loss to former President Joe Biden, with Lindell going so far as to claim that “Satan” rigged the election.
