A federal judge has ordered the attorneys behind a Michigan lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2020 election results to face sanctions, including referrals for potential disbarment.
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker issued the orders in response to motions for sanctions filed by lawyers for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan over the quickly rejected election challenge. Her order affects lawyers Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Howard Kleinhendler, Greg Rohl, Julia Haller, Scott Hagerstrom and Emily Newman. These are the first sanctions issued against Powell and her team of attorneys.
Parker ordered plaintiffs’ counsel in the case to pay attorneys’ fees for lawyers for the city of Detroit and Michigan state officials and to be referred to disciplinary authorities in Michigan as well as the attorneys’ home districts for investigation “and possible suspension or disbarment.” She also ordered the lawyers to take 12 hours of continuing legal education courses on pleading standards and election law.
“This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” Parker wrote in opening her opinion. “It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an allegedly fraudulent election.
It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here.”
The federal judge said that, while others may be able to “disseminate allegations of fraud unsupported by law or fact in the public sphere,” attorneys cannot “exploit their privilege and access to the judicial process to do the same.”
