Among other lines of questioning were Lindell\u2019s ties to Colorado Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, the local election overseer he met at a cyber symposium he hosted last August. Peters has faced charges related to a breach of security protocols for her county\u2019s voting systems, to which she pleaded not guilty last week.<\/p>\n<p>They asked him about his meeting with Ohio math teacher Douglas Frank, who also believes the 2020 presidential election results were manipulated, and about Lindell\u2019s frequent air travel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I got bad news for you: we are going to take your cell phone,\u201d Lindell remembered the agents saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo you are not, I\u2019d rather be arrested, you are not going to get my phone,\u201d he replied.
