Story

— Stefanie Lambert, a pro-Trump attorney facing felony charges in Michigan for improperly accessing voting equipment, has been disqualified from representing Patrick Byrne, the founder of Overstock.com, in a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems. The disqualification occurred after Lambert admitted to leaking thousands of confidential documents that she was obligated to keep private. Her attorney, Daniel Hartman, confirmed that they plan to appeal the decision. The controversy escalated when Lambert acknowledged sharing records from Dominion with law enforcement, which included an affidavit signed by Dar Leaf, a sheriff investigating election fraud claims. Dominion responded by filing a motion to remove Lambert from the case, citing her violation of a protective order and the subsequent threats to the company stemming from her disclosures. In addition to her disqualification, Lambert faces four felony charges in Michigan related to her alleged attempts to access voting machines in pursuit of evidence supporting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. She has pleaded not guilty to these charges and was arrested earlier this year after failing to appear at a court hearing. Dominion Voting Systems has been actively pursuing defamation lawsuits against various individuals and entities that propagated false claims regarding its voting machines during the 2020 election. This includes high-profile cases against figures like Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell, with Fox News previously settling a related case for $787 million.
