Stefanie Lambert Arrested, Released on Bond in Michigan Voter Fraud Case
Stefanie Lambert, a lawyer advocating for Trump’s voter fraud claims in Michigan, got arrested in federal court for not complying with court orders. The separate Michigan case alleges she tampered with voting machines post the 2020 election. Lambert was released on a $10,000 unsecured bond after her arraignment on Tuesday. She and two other Republicans have been accused of illegally breaching Michigan voting machines but Lambert refused to submit fingerprints.
Lambert Represents Former Overstock CEO Byrne
Lambert is currently representing former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne. Byrne has been fighting a defamation case filed by Dominion Voting Systems for the past three years. Dominion accuses Byrne of spreading false claims that the 2020 election was stolen with the help of its voting machines.
Lambert Apprehended in Washington
US marshals apprehended Lambert in Washington on Monday. At the time, she was in court for a hearing concerning possible sanctions for giving confidential Dominion documents to Dar Leaf. Leaf, a Michigan sheriff and elections conspiracy theorist, has worked for four years to validate Trump’s voter fraud claims in Michigan. He is a leader in the “constitutional sheriffs” movement, arguing for sheriffs’ ultimate authority in their jurisdiction.
Leaked Dominion Documents
According to an unverified account on X under “Sheriff Dar Leaf,” over 2,000 pages of confidential Dominion documents were posted on Sunday. Dominion requested a US judge to disqualify Lambert from the case, arguing that the document release resulted in harassment against its employees.
Byrne’s Role in Trump’s Inner Circle
Post-2020 election, Byrne was instrumental in Trump’s inner circle. He spread false voter fraud claims and helped fund the Trump campaign’s efforts to overturn the election results. Dominion settled a similar defamation case with Fox News for $787.4m last year. Byrne defended his role in Trump’s 2020 big lie in a 2021 filing, describing himself as a qualified philosopher, successful CEO, and public intellectual.
Lambert agreed in court to return promptly to Michigan and turn herself in.
