Daniel J Eastman has been named as the new general counsel of Mike Lindell Media Corporation (MLMC).
Mike Lindell is more commonly known as the ‘My Pillow Guy’ and as an avid supporter of Donald Trump. He reportedly helped to finance Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 US election.
Lindell unsuccessfully ran for chair of the republican national committee in 2023 and was banned from X (formerly known as Twitter) in 2021 for spreading election misinformation.
MLMC, which is listed on the OTC Markets exchange, is a conservative broadcast network helmed by Lindell.
According to the press release, Eastman is a lawyer ‘with over 35 years of legal and regulatory expertise.’ These claims have not been independently verified.
Eastman is named in several lawsuits, including one he filed days before the 2024 US presidential election that sought to dismiss over 140,000 people from the Wisconsin voter registration, claiming they did not live there.
He was one of 15 lawyers who had ethics complaints filed against him by the 65 project – named for the 65 lawsuits they filed against lawyers in swing states who actively worked to overturn the 2020 election results.
‘We are pleased to welcome Mr. Eastman to the team at a pivotal time,’ says Greg Martin, president and COO at MLMC. ‘His experience and strategic counsel will help us strengthen internal controls and continue executing our mission as a public platform.’
