BREAKING: Arizona Supreme Court sanctions Kari Lake and her attorneys "because Lake’s attorney has made false factual statements to the Court."

The Arizona Supreme Court on Thursday ordered sanctions against former gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's lawyers for "unequivocally false" claims made in court about 35,000 ballots added to last year's election vote count.

Attorneys for Gov. Katie Hobbs and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, both Democrats, sought sanctions against Lake for bringing what they called a frivolous and unfounded lawsuit.

The order signed by Chief Justice Robert Brutinel declined to award Hobbs and Fontes their attorneys fees and said Lake's lawyers must pay $2,000 to the court clerk for repeatedly claiming it was an "undisputed fact" that 35,563 ballots were added to the results at Maricopa County’s third-party ballot processor, Runbeck Election Services. Hobbs, Fontes and Maricopa County all disputed the claim.

16. Why?

The so-called sanctions were nothing. $2000 and the Democrats were denied the attorney fees they requested.

BFD. I hope when the final pending portion of the case is denied, then they are ordered to pay the state's attorney fees.
