Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of President Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday. Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview. “Hi, sorry to interrupt,” the unidentified woman said. “We’re on TV here, please,” Lindell repeatedly said while trying to shove the women out of frame. “I know, you’ve been served,” the woman replied, even as Lindell refused to take the documents she tried to hand him. “What are you serving him with?” the OAN reporter asked the woman. “You’ve been served, so you have to take this. Thank you,” the woman said to Lindell. After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Nina Wang denied Lindell’s motion to overturn the jury’s verdict against him and his media company, Frankspeech, which found the parties liable for defaming Coomer, MS NOW reported. It is unclear if the papers Lindell was served on Thursday were related to the defamation lawsuit.
