Supreme Court Upholds Sanctions on Trump's Attorneys in Election Overturn Efforts

The decision marks a significant legal and financial blow to Sidney Powell and other Trump-aligned lawyers, as Rudy Giuliani faces a $148.2 million defamation payment.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up Sidney Powell and her co-counsel's case, effectively allowing over $150,000 in sanctions against them for attempting to overturn Michigan's 2020 election results to take effect.
Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay $148.2 million to Georgia election workers for defamation, contributing to his bankruptcy filing in December.
Several Trump-allied attorneys face legal and financial repercussions, including plea deals in Fulton County, Georgia, and ongoing defamation lawsuits from voting machine companies.
Non-monetary consequences for these attorneys include license suspensions and potential disbarment, highlighting the broad range of penalties beyond financial ones.
The total costs incurred by Trump allies in their efforts to overturn the 2020 election and spread election fraud lies are part of a larger financial and legal fallout.
