Kari Lake's lawyer sanctioned for 60 days for lying in effort to overturn '22 election

An attorney who represented Kari Lake in her lawsuit to overturn her defeat in Arizona's 2022 gubernatorial election will be barred from practicing law for 60 days for lying in the case, a Friday court order says.

Bryan Blehm has already been fined by the Arizona Supreme Court for his statements made in Lake's defense, claiming it was "undisputed fact" that nearly 36,000 ballots were added to the results leading to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' victory by about 17,000 votes. Even the Arizona Supreme Court had made clear there was no evidence to back up Blehm's claim.

Lawyers for the State Bar of Arizona, which handles attorney discipline matters on behalf of the state Supreme Court, sought a six-month suspension for Blehm, citing in part his social media comments that he was "guilty without a trial" showed a lack of remorse.

Presiding Disciplinary Judge Margaret H. Downie, in a May hearing, expressed concern that punishment might go too far and questioned whether the request was influenced by the political nature of the case.
