Kari Lake Surrenders in Defamation Lawsuit [View all]

https://www.meidastouch.com/news/kari-lake-surrenders-in-defamation-lawsuit

Kari Lake has filed a motion today conceding that she is liable in a defamation lawsuit filed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. Richer sued Lake for her lies about his handling of her election for governor of Arizona in 2022.

Lake has asked that the case immediately proceed to the damages phase of the case to have the jury determine how much she has to pay. She likely took this action because she knew she was going to lose this case and didn't want an ugly and public trial on liability in the middle of her campaign for Senate.
