Mike Lindell is offering free shipping on any purchase made at MyPillow, the company that made his fortune and which is now struggling as the cost of the legal cases against the bedding salesman, a longtime Donald Trump ally, pile up.

Speaking on Real America's Voice War Room on Monday, Lindell announced that his firm would be offering "free shipping on everything" ordered on MyPillow this week, "no matter how small or how big." The offer, according to MyPillow's website, has been extended through November 28.

It's not the first time Lindell, one of the main promoters of false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from Trump, has offered discounts and promotions on MyPillow's products amid financial difficulties as he faces three defamation cases in court.

Last month, Newsweek reported that MyPillow was offering substantial discounts on its products—in some cases, as much as 60 percent.

After lending his support to unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was rigged and Trump should be in the White House, Lindell was hit by three lawsuits from voting-machine manufacturers Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic and by Eric Coomer, a former Dominion employee.

Dominion and Smartmatic have argued that their reputations were significantly harmed by Lindell's claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Dominion, who also launched a lawsuit against Fox News that was settled last year for $787 million, is seeking $1.3 billion from Lindell.

Numerous independent experts found no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election, which was won by President Joe Biden.

Newsweek contacted MyPillow for comment by email on Tuesday.

The pillow magnate has been fighting in court against the three lawsuits, but the legal expenses have left him—and his company—struggling financially. In an interview in October, Lindell said he lost "everything, every dime," telling Newsweek he could no longer afford to pay his lawyers.

In the same month, his attorneys said he owed them "millions of dollars" in unpaid legal fees and that they needed to drop him as a client.

While Lindell said that MyPillow doesn't run the risk of going out of business, the businessman said he has changed the platforms on which his products are sold, with a new focus on conservative media outlets.

In previous interviews, Lindell said he was willing to lose everything, including MyPillow, to continue fighting the lawsuit and "get our elections secure." He has framed the legal cases against him as part of a national battle to ensure elections in the U.S. are fair and correct.

Since the lawsuits were filed against him, Lindell has asked his supporters for financial help to support his legal expenses.
