Pro-Trump attorney released from custody after promising to turn herself in on Michigan warrant
An attorney who once sued unsuccessfully to overturn former President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election is being released from custody after promising a federal judge she would drive back to Michigan and turn herself in to authorities
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Michigan attorney who unsuccessfully sued to overturn former President Donald Trump's 2020 loss in that state was released from custody in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday after promising to drive back home and turn herself in on an outstanding warrant.
Stefanie Lambert was released from a Washington courtroom after her attorney Kevin Irving said she was “willing and ready” to return to Michigan and face a warrant issued by a judge earlier this month.
“I don’t think it's something she is running away from,” Irving said.
Lambert faces felony charges of improperly accessing voting equipment in a search for evidence of a conspiracy to steal the 2020 election from Trump. A Michigan judge issued a bench warrant for Lambert after she missed a March 7 hearing in the case.
