Sidney Powell's appeal was rejected by SCOTUS; Peter Navarro is threatened with contempt for holding presidential records.
Donald Trump's allies have suffered two legal hits on Tuesday over claims the 2020 election was stolen due to widespread voter fraud and for not returning government documents.The Supreme Court declined to reverse sanctions on Sidney Powell and other Trump-allied lawyers who filed a meritless lawsuit challenging Michigan's election results, while Peter Navarro, a Trump adviser, is threatened with contempt of court for not returning presidential records to the National Archives.
Lawyers Powell, Lin Wood and five others were ordered by a district court to pay more than $175,000 to cover the legal fees that the city of Detroit and state incurred to defend the lawsuit. In addition to the fees, Powell, Wood and the others were referred to the bar associations in each of their states for disciplinary proceedings.However, the one-line order from the high court on Tuesday rejected the appeals from the lawyers, allowing a decision from the U.S.
