Nine lawyers allied with former President Trump face financial penalties and other sanctions in Michigan. A judge says they abused the court system with a spurious lawsuit challenging Joe Biden's election victory in the state.
FILE - Attorney Sidney Powell speaks during a rally on Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2020, in Alpharetta, Ga. Nine lawyers, including Powell, allied with former President Donald Trump face financial penalties and other sanctions after a judge Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2021, said they had abused the court system with a lawsuit that challenged Michigan's election results that certified Joe Biden as the winner.
“Despite the haze of confusion, commotion and chaos counsel intentionally attempted to create by filing this lawsuit, one thing is perfectly clear: Plaintiffs’ attorneys have scorned their oath, flouted the rules, and attempted to undermine the integrity of the judiciary along the way,” Parker said in the opening of a scathing 110-page opinion.
The judge agreed, telling the state and city to tally the costs of defending the lawsuit and submit the figures. It was one of the few efforts to wrench fines or other penalties from dubious post-election lawsuits across the U.S.in the 2020 election. Indeed, election officials from both political parties have stated publicly that the election went well, and international observers confirmed there were no serious irregularities.
