New subpoena drags Mike Lindell into Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case



MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's name appears on new subpoenas in former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case, court records show.

Giuliani's deal with Lindell's streaming site and app FrankSpeech — which the legal news site Law&Crime reports could net $180,000 in extra income — and both men's coffee ventures are at the heart of the documents demanded by the former mayor's creditors, Manhattan bankruptcy court records show.

The demands come from Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors lawyers representing Georgia election worker Shaye Moss, Dominion Voting Systems, and Noelle Dunphy, who has accused Giuliani of wage theft and sexual harassment, according to court records and Law&Crime.

The creditors seek “All Documents and Communications regarding and relationship between [Lindell] or My Coffee, on one hand, and Rudy Coffee, on the other hand.”

Creditors have recently claimed that Giuliani could be fraudulently “funneling funds that belong to his creditors to his business" which they dubbed "a personal piggy bank," Law&Crime reports.

During a June 17 hearing, Giuliani and his attorneys denied any impropriety and had what Law&Crime dubbed an "awkward exchange" with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane.

"You have to provide information” Lane told Giuliani's lawyer Gary Fischoff. “It can’t be on a trust me basis."

When the lawyer admitted he did not yet know the financial details himself, Lane reportedly remarked, “That’s an unfortunate statement for you to have to make."

‘Vast majority’ of J6 cases won’t be affected by Supreme Court ruling: Merrick Garland



Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on how "obstruction of an official proceeding" can be used in Jan. 6 charges won't have much of an impact.

MSNBC contributor and Just Security fellow Adam Klasfeld quoted Garland saying, "The vast majority of the more than 1,400 defendants charged for their illegal actions on Jan. 6 will not be affected by this decision."

A pie chart from Just Security shows that of the 1,417 people charged, 71 defendants still awaiting trial have the law in question. This is approximately 5 percent of the charges. Most of those currently in prison are still facing charges and have other charges involved in their cases.

Donald Trump is also among those charged in the Jan. 6 cases, but the cases have not yet gone to trial.

"There are no cases in which the Department charged a January 6 defendant only with the offense at issue in Fischer. For the cases affected by today’s decision, the Department will take appropriate steps to comply with the Court’s ruling," Garland also said.

Of the defendants who face misdemeanors, just 2.3 percent, or 33 people, face charges using Section 1512(c)(2), the law the Court decided on Friday. Those defendants also face other crimes, but are also only misdemeanors.

“January 6 was an unprecedented attack on the cornerstone of our system of government — the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next," Garland said in the Justice Department statement. "I am disappointed by today’s decision, which limits an important federal statute that the Department has sought to use to ensure that those most responsible for that attack face appropriate consequences."

Garland also promised, "We will continue to use all available tools to hold accountable those criminally responsible for the January 6 attack on our democracy.”
