Dershowitz Seeks To Evade Sanctions In Kari Lake Case

Courthouse News reports:

Alan Dershowitz says he was mistakenly listed as the lead attorney in Kari Lake’s suit against the Arizona secretary of state and supervisors of both Maricopa and Pima Counties.

Rather than leading the legal effort to disrupt trust in Arizona’s elections, Dershowitz says he spent “merely three or four hours” on the case as an advisor to Lake’s attorneys on a matter of constitutionality.

“I do not like Miss Lake,” Dershowitz told U.S. District Judge John Tuchi. “I would never have voted for her. I would never in a million years be part of any campaign to influence or affect the election. I did this because I believe the constitution requires that people who perform government functions be as transparent as the actual government,” he said.
