The State Bar of Georgia confirmed to me that it has asked Lin Wood, the lawyer who partnered with Sidney Powell to spread false claims about the election, to undergo a mental health evaluation.
My latest: The State Bar of Georgia confirms it has asked Lin Wood to undergo a mental health evaluation.
Such a request is rare but allowed under their rules. It's usually confidential, but Wood waived confidentiality by posting about it.

Usually the best way to proceed with a licensing board is to make nice with them.
