Trump Ally Cornered After Splurging Half of Campaign Cash on Copies of His Own Book

Pro-Trump businessman and would-be Minnesota governor Mike Lindell has a positively wild excuse for blowing half his campaign funds on copies of a book he wrote himself.

“We got them for a very good price,” he explained during a Sunday sit-down with NewsNation, responding to questions about why he’d spent more than $187,000 on purchases of his own memoir: What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO.

Noting those funds had come from the roughly $350,000 Lindell has taken in for his gubernatorial run, network host Natasha Zouves had asked the businessman to “explain to people why buy all those books,” and whether it represented a “wise use of campaign spending.”
