Judge Rules that Maricopa County Election Official’s Defamation Lawsuit against Kari Lake for Criticizing Rigged Election for Governor Will go to Trial – Lawsuit Backed by the Same Group that Sued Rudy Giuliani for $148 MILLION and Gateway Pundit
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer
A Judge recently ruled that Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer’s bogus defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake for criticizing him for his role in the stolen midterm election in Arizona will proceed to trial.
Richer seeks nominal damages, punitive damages, attorneys fees, cost of suit, and retraction of “false and defamatory statements.”
Even far-left Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law First Amendment Clinic knows this is an attack on Kari Lake’s rights as a citizen and a candidate, and they have joined Lake’s defense.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the lawsuit by Stephen Richer is backed by Protect Democracy, the same far-left Soros-tied nonprofit behind Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss’ $148 million defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani after he claimed the two women contributed to voter fraud in Georgia’s 2020 election.
