An appeals court has rejected a bid by the Arizona GOP and its lawyers to undo $18,000 in attorneys' fees that they were ordered to pay for bringing one of the party's failed lawsuits challenging President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the state.
An appeals court has rejected a bid by the Arizona Republican Party and its lawyers to undo $18,000 in attorneys' fees that they were ordered to pay for bringing one of the party's failed lawsuits challenging President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the state.
The appeals court wrote,"The First Amendment does not shield attorneys or parties from a court's obligation" under a law requiring judges to impose attorneys' fees against those who bring claims to court without substantial justification or to delay or harass. Jack Wilenchik, an attorney who at the time represented the party, said the decision will be appealed.
While the Republican Party said the purpose of its challenge was to determine whether voting machines were hacked, election officials argued the lawsuit was a delay tactic aimed at undermining the certification of election results.
