White House officials said so The New York Times Nothing substantial came out on Friday from Lindell’s meeting with Trump, which the White House said lasted between five and ten minutes.
Lindell, popularly known by many as “the myPillow type,” has been a vocal supporter of Trump, especially in recent weeks when the businessman has advanced on Twitter Trump’s unfounded claims of “stolen” elections.

Lindell also on January 6 after the pro-Trump crowd attack on the Capitol issued several tweets stating that “Antifa is responsible for the attacks.” The FBI said last week there was no evidence to suggest that members of the leftist movement were involved in the deadly storm of the Capitol.

“The lawyer said, ‘You can bring these to him,’ Lindell told the Times. ‘It was something to help the American people.’
MyPillow did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment on the notes photographed.
