Attorneys who've been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can't pay the millions more that he'll owe in legal expenses going forward.

It’s the latest in a string of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who propagates former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products.

“MyPillow's been decimated. ... We've lost hundreds of millions of dollars,” Lindell said, adding that the other main assets he has left are his home and pickup truck. He blamed Dominion, Smartmatic and the news media, including the conservative outlets Fox News and Newsmax.

Home and a pickup and an Audi something-or-other apparently. Also from the photo he likes to wear Xian bling ... that gold ring ought to be worth a couple thou-, maybe more if it was melted down and the curse was off. He's probably got drawers full of gaudy crap like the ring and the lapel pin, maybe Smartmatic and Dominion will settle for the jewelry and a few pillows?
