A Maricopa County Superior Court judge concluded that witnesses brought by Kari Lake’s attorney were either not credible or not relevant to Lake’s lawsuit.
PHOENIX — A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has heard closing arguments in a defeated candidate’s latest legal challenge related to the 2022 election.
Lake was not in attendance during the second day of the trial. The former TV anchor, who has used her large platform in the state to spread false election conspiracies, has struggled in election-related lawsuits. “The very purpose of the Public Records Act is to ensure the people act as a check on the government,” Blehm said Monday.
During the trial, Hannah denied four requests by Lake’s attorney for three different witnesses to take the stand. Hannah said they were either not credible or not relevant to the case. “Even if all their complaints and feelings are true, the people’s right to participate in our government, to oversee its operations, is fundamental,” Blehm said, in response to that argument. “Americans have always been able to ask questions after the fact. We have always been able to challenge our elections and our elected leaders.”
