Trump official asked IRS to reexamine audit of MyPillow’s Mike Lindell

by Sarah Fortinsky - 04/17/25 5:21 PM ET

A Trump administration appointee asked the IRS in March to review an audit of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a close President Trump ally, according to The Washington Post, which cited two people familiar with the matter and records that the news outlet obtained.

The Treasury Department official, David Eisner, wrote an email last month to at least one senior IRS official, saying Lindell “is concerned he may have been inappropriately targeted,” the Post reported.

The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the email, reported that Eisner referred to Lindell as “a high-profile friend of the President,” who “recently received an audit letter, from what I understand, his second in two years.”

The IRS staff did not act on the email, according to the Times and the Post, but referred the matter to the agency’s watchdog, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).

1. Inappropriately targeted

A high profile friend of the president. Where the hell does Lindell think he is, El Salvador?

2. A Treasury Department official...?

“Treasury Department official, David Eisner, wrote an email …saying Lindell “is concerned he may have been inappropriately targeted.”

Why couldn’t Lindell’s lawyers, or even Lindell himself, have written that letter? File an appeal; a complaint. Why go through main Treasury?

You know why…!
