MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has released a three-hour documentary on his unfounded allegations of electoral fraud, which this week sparked a controversy between Lindell and anchors on the conservative network Newsmax.
The film, titled “Absolute Proof,” will be available online on cable television and will air on One America News Network for 12 hours.
The Conservative channel, which has been broadcasting false allegations about the election for the past few months, places an indemnity on the Lindell film which states that it is paid programming and ‘opinion only’.
It also distanced him from Lindell’s statements about US Dominion Inc. and Smartmatic USA Corp., two voice-over technology companies that have been at the forefront of conspiracy theories promulgated by Trump supporters.
Dominion Voting Systems threatened a lawsuit against Lindell in January over its claims.
Smartmatic sued earlier this week Rudy Giuliani

Conspiracy theories surrounding the election were at the center of an attack by a pro-Trump mob on the Capitol last month that disrupted the certification of congressional results by Congress.
The riot underscores the danger posed by conspiracy theories. Five people were killed in the riots, including a Capitol police officer. A number of officers were seen in videos attacked by people from the mob.
Lindell’s unfounded claims about election fraud led to his removal from Twitter.
Earlier this week, a Newsmax host canceled an interview with Lindell, apparently for fear that the CEO of MyPillow would make fraudulent allegations about the election.
