Pro-Trump Lawyers Ordered To Pay More Than $100k For Wasting Everyone's Time With Big Lie Suit

A federal judge in Colorado on Monday ordered two pro-Trump lawyers who launched one of MAGAland’s many lawsuits aiming to undo the 2020 election to hand over $186,922 in attorneys fees to the defendants in their suit, including Dominion Voting Systems and Facebook.

The lawyers, Gary Fielder and Ernest John Walker, were also ordered to pay the legal fees of election reform advocacy group Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), plus the states of Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter slammed Fielder and Walker in his ruling for filing a “wasteful, extraordinarily over broad, and dangerous” lawsuit.

Neureiter noted that the lawyers hadn’t hired any elections experts to back up their claims of fraud in the 2020 election.
