"This case was never about fraud," Judge Linda Parker wrote. "It was about undermining the people’s faith in our democracy."
A Michigan federal judge sanctioned nine pro-Donald Trump attorneys on Wednesday, saying they had abused the court system and spread conspiracy theories when they filed a lawsuit attempting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results. U.S. District Judge Linda Parker wrote that the Trump lawyers had attempted to sue in “bad faith and for improper purpose” in a scathing, 110-page ruling, adding that they had worked to deceive the American public. The attorneys named in the order include Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, two prominent conservatives who were mouthpieces for the former president’s attempts to undercut the results of the election, which his opponent Joe Biden won by more than 7 million votes.More Related News
