CHASKA, MN — Companies are severing ties with Minnesota-based MyPillow as Chief Executive Officer Mike Lindell continues to push false information about the 2020 presidential election. Lindell falsely claims that President Donald Trump won a second term in office.

Lindell told FOX 9 that Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, Wayfair and H-E-B will no longer sell MyPillow products. He blamed the fallout on public pressure coming from what he called "leftist groups," the news station reported.

Lindell also faces a potential lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over misinformation he has spread about their machines, according to The New York Times.

"You have positioned yourself as a prominent leader of the ongoing misinformation campaign," Dominion said in a letter to Lindell. "Litigation regarding these issues is imminent."

Lindell was at the White House Friday. A photo of his notes captured by the Washington Post indicates he discussed the idea of declaring "martial law if necessary" with Trump. Tuesday is Trump's final full day in office.
