A federal judge in Washington, D.C. took a rare step and disqualified Stefanie Lambert, a Michigan attorney and frequent 2020 election denier, from representing another election denier in one of the many defamation suits filed by Dominion Voting Systems after the lawyer admitted she shared confidential discovery documents.
Lambert was representing Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.com, who became notorious for spreading voter fraud conspiracy theories after former President Donald Trump’s loss to President Joe Biden in 2020.
Dominion sued Byrne for defamation, alongside right-wing broadcasters One America News and Newsmax, after spreading conspiracy theories about their voting machines, which were used in several swing states.
