Faced with the prospect of turning over information that could be used against her at trial, former gubernatorial and current U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake is seeking to forfeit her ability to defend herself in court in an ongoing defamation case.
Lake and her attorneys are requesting default judgment, which means a jury could decide damages in the suit. The request means Lake could avoid most discovery in the case.

It was a lie. It was always a lie.

She defamed me.
But she also lied to you.
