More than 60 lawsuits filed by Trump and his supporters to contest results in various states have been thrown out.

Lindell has been one of the most vocal believers that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election and claimed for the better part of the year that his Supreme Court case would “pull down” the election. However, he hasn’t been successful in proving widespread election fraud and recently admitted that his Supreme Court filing wouldn’t overturn the election. On Thursday, Steve Bannon, a former Trump White House adviser, asked Lindell if the $25 million he spent on fighting the election could have been better used for religious organizations, his recovery network or grassroots organizations....
