Prominent proponent of Donald Trump's stolen election lie says he was questioned about Colorado electoral official Tina Peters

Mike Lindell, the pillow salesman who became an enthusiastic mouthpiece for Donald Trump's lie about a stolen election, has said he was forced to hand his phone to FBI agents who surrounded him at a fast-food drive-through.

The incident happened on Tuesday as Lindell, chief executive of My Pillow, was in line at a branch of Hardee's in Mankato, Minnesota, his home town, following a hunting trip.
