The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday declined to review an appeal that sought to overturn sanctions imposed on the attorneys who represented former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. The court's refusal leaves the penalties, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, in place.
The sanctions were issued after the lawyers advanced election‑fraud claims in Lake's campaign that were found to be without factual basis.
The matter was heard in Washington, D.C., and the Supreme Court's decision upholds the lower courts' rulings.
