CEO of MyPillow Mike Lindell has released a three-hour documentary about his unfounded allegations of election fraud, which this week has allowed for a live discussion between Lindell and anchors on the conservative Newsmax network.
The film, titled “Absolute Test,” will be available on cable television, online and can be watched for 12 hours on the One America News Network.
The Conservative channel, which in recent months issued false claims about the election, puts a legal warning on Lindell’s film stating that it is about payment scheduling and “opinion only”.
He also distanced himself from Lindell’s statements about US Dominion Inc. and Smartmatic USA Corp., two voting technology companies that have been at the forefront of conspiracy theories enacted by Trump supporters.
Dominion Voting Systems threatened a lawsuit against Lindell in January for its claims.
Smartmatic sued earlier this week Rudy Giuliani

Liberal group Media Matters noted the resignation and the fact that OAN would be airing the film for 12 consecutive hours.

Conspiracy theories surrounding the election were at the center of a pro-Trump crowd attack on the Capitol last month that disrupted Congress ’certification of Electoral College results.
The riot underscored the danger posed by conspiracy theories. Five people died in connection with the riot, including a Capitol police officer. Several officers were seen in videos attacked by people from the crowd.
Lindell’s baseless allegations of election fraud led to his withdrawal from Twitter.
Earlier this week, a Newsmax host came out of a live interview with Lindell, apparently out of fear that the CEO of MyPillow would make fraudulent claims about the election.
