Conspiracy theorist attorney Lin Wood has asked the State Bar of Georgia to allow him to retire his law license after the bar mulled a disbarment for the pro-Trump lawyer.
Wood, who helped launch the Stop The Steal movement, became a top promoter of election fraud hoaxes after the 2020 presidential election.
But some of his more outlandish claims, including his open embrace of the QAnon conspiracy theory, have led to a deluge of legal challenges, including a lawsuit from former colleagues, and disciplinary proceedings in Georgia, where the bar held a hearing this spring to assess his fitness to practice law. In a July 4 letter to the bar, Wood requested that he “be permitted to transfer to Retired Status” immediately.
