Conservative activist and election denier Mike Lindell is in legal hot water again, this time with the package delivery company DHL.
DHL filed a lawsuit against Lindell’s company, saying that MyPillow owes almost $800,000 in unpaid bills, did not pay for all parcel delivery services within 15 days of being billed, and violated its contract with DHL, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY on Friday.
The lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis on Monday.
Lindell declined to comment when reached by USA TODAY on Friday.
DHL and MyPillow had reached a settlement in May 2023 requiring Lindell's company to pay DHL $775,000 over 24 monthly installments that were scheduled to start this April, according to the complaint.
But Lindell’s company only paid a portion of the settlement, just a little under $65,000 the lawsuit says.
DHL notified MyPillow with a written notice of default on July 2, with the lawsuit now seeking about $800,000 plus interest and attorneys fees that could make it far pricier.
This isn't Lindell’s first rodeo in court, as reported earlier this year. U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim ordered Lindell to pay $5 million to a software engineer who debunked data that the MyPillow CEO used to claim that China had interfered with the 2020 election.
In April, the U.S. Supreme Court also declined to hear an appeal from Lindell regarding his claims that his rights were violated when FBI agents seized his phone back in 2022. The federal government seized his phone as it was investigating the sharing of sensitive information from Colorado’s computerized voting systems.
Back in 2023 as well, the lawyers that were defending him in various defamation cases asked the court for permission to quit his case as Lindell had not paid them.
According to court records in the DHL case filed this week, Lindell does not have attorneys and is listed as representing himself.
