Back in September I reported that a judge had imposed sanctions on several lawyers for the Trump campaign for the frivolous lawsuits filed in Michigan challenging the results of the election. See here.
Today, I am writing to point out that the judge has affirmed the imposition of sanctions, and added an amount for attorney's fees but has reduced the amount of sanctions by a little over $28,000. You can read the opinion here.
According to the order, attorneys Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood, Howard Kleinhendler, Gregory Rohl, Stefanie Lynn Junttila, Emily Newman, Julia Z. Haller, Brandon Johnson, and Scott Hagerstrom, must pay, jointly and severally $21,964.75 to Gretchen Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson, and $153,285.62 to the City of Detroit.
The ABA Journal has more information and links on the story here.
