In a recent turn of events, attorney Stefanie Lambert was arrested in federal court after refusing to comply with court orders in a separate case in Michigan. The case alleged that Lambert and two other state Republicans tampered with voting machines following the 2020 election, further fueling President Trump's claims of voter fraud.

During her arraignment on Tuesday, Lambert was released on a $10,000 unsecured bond. However, she refused to submit her fingerprints as requested by the court. Her arrest has brought attention to her role as the defense attorney for former Overstock chief executive, Patrick Byrne, who has been embroiled in a defamation case filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

Dominion Voting Systems accuses Byrne of spreading false information that the 2020 election was stolen with the help of their voting machines. Lambert, representing Byrne, was in court to discuss possible sanctions for providing confidential documents from Dominion to Michigan sheriff Dar Leaf, a prominent elections conspiracy theorist.

Leaf, a leader in the "constitutional sheriffs" movement, has spent years attempting to prove Trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in Michigan. On Sunday, an unverified account on social media platform X, under the name "Sheriff Dar Leaf," posted over 2,000 confidential Dominion documents. Dominion alleges that this release of documents led to harassment against their employees.

As a result, Dominion has requested that a US judge disqualify Lambert from the case. The company argues that the actions taken by Lambert and Leaf have had adverse effects and have contributed to the ongoing spread of false information regarding the 2020 election.

It is important to note that Byrne, who played a role in Trump's inner circle after the 2020 election, continues to support the false claims of widespread voter fraud. Dominion has previously settled a similar defamation case with Fox News for $787.4 million.

However, in a recent filing, Byrne defended his involvement, asserting that he is a "philosopher with post-graduate and doctoral degrees" and that his findings as an "investigative and citizen journalist" are protected by the first amendment.

During the court proceedings, Lambert agreed to return promptly to Michigan and turn herself in to face the charges. As the case continues to unfold, the spotlight remains on the allegations of tampering with voting machines and the broader implications for election integrity.
