Mike Lindell swiftly denied by judge after seeking restraining order against FBI over seized phone
Raw StoryMike Lindell, also known to some as the "MyPillow Guy," had his motion for a temporary restraining order blocked by a judge Thursday, two days after he sued the FBI in order to try and get back his seized cell phone. Politico legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney tweeted a copy of the court filing, which denied Lindell's right to have the restraining order issued. If granted, the order would have allowed Lindell to temporarily reclaim his cell phone, which was seized by the FBI on Sept. 14 during an operation at a Hardee's drive-through in Mankato, Minnesota.
