Judge: Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and other Trump lawyers should have checked the former president’s false voter fraud claims.
A US judge has sanctioned Sidney Powell and other lawyers for former President Donald Trump who sued in Michigan to overturn Democratic President Joe Biden’s election victory. In a written ruling on Wednesday, US District Judge Linda Parker in Detroit said the pro-Trump lawyers, including Powell and prominent litigator Lin Wood, should have investigated the Republican former president’s voter fraud claims more carefully before filing a “frivolous” lawsuit. Parker dismissed the Michigan suit last December and now has formally requested professional disciplinary bodies investigate whether Trump’s lawyers should have their law licences revoked. The judge ordered the lawyers to attend classes on the ethical and legal requirements for filing legal claims.
