Supreme Court allows sanctions against Trump-allied lawyers over 2020
election lawsuit
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected appeals brought by Trump-allied
lawyers who faced legal sanctions for baselessly alleging in court
that the 2020 election in Michigan was fraudulently won by President
Joe Biden.
By rejecting the appeals, the court left in place a June 2023 ruling
by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that partially upheld the
sanctions.
Prominent cheerleaders of former President Donald Trump's efforts to
overturn the election including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood were among
the nine lawyers who initially faced sanctions for filing the lawsuit.
Powell called the group "the Kraken."
