Lindell said in response to Insider's request for comment on the Hardee's tweet. Lindell told Insider the incident occurred at a Hardee's restaurant in Mankato, Minnesota, where he ordered a mushroom swiss cheeseburger and a chocolate shake.
During a Facebook broadcast on Tuesday, Lindell said the FBI had been"weaponized" against him by issuing a search warrant for his phone, claiming he was"cornered" by four federal agents outside the Hardee's.
