Quick Glance: Court Sanctions Trump-Allied Lawyers
- The Supreme Court rejected appeals by Trump-allied lawyers facing legal sanctions for baselessly alleging the 2020 election in Michigan was fraudulently won by President Joe Biden.
- By denying the appeals, the court upheld a June 2023 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that partially upheld the sanctions.
- Prominent supporters of former President Donald Trump's election challenges, such as Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, were among the nine lawyers initially sanctioned for filing the lawsuit.
- The appeals court upheld sanctions against seven lawyers, including Powell and Wood, who were directed to pay legal fees, undergo new legal training, and face possible disciplinary actions by their state bar associations.
