A judge on Tuesday released pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert from a Washington, DC, jail after she promised to immediately return to Michigan and surrender to authorities there, where there is a warrant related to her indictment on election-tampering charges. DC Superior Court Magistrate Judge Heide Herrmann released Lambert on a $10,000 bond, which she’ll need to pay if she doesn’t quickly turn herself in to Michigan authorities. She was in handcuffs and ankle restraints during the brief hearing in Washington, DC. The hearing came one day after Lambert’s bizarre arrest at the federal courthouse in DC. She was taken into custody by US marshals immediately after she participated in a two-hour hearing in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case against her client, former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, regarding his 2020-related election lies. That hearing was about Lambert’s recent leak of internal Dominion emails, which she obtained through her representation of Byrne, while that case is in the discovery phase. But she was arrested due to a warrant in Michigan, which was issued after she failed to appear at two recent hearings in her separate criminal case. She was indicted last year in connection with an election system breach, which was one of several incidents in battleground states where Trump supporters tried to prove their voter-fraud theories. A police affidavit regarding Lambert’s arrest described her as “a fugitive from the state of Michigan” and said an officer from DC’s Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Tuesday that Michigan “will extradite” her, according to court filings obtained by CNN.
