Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert surrendered Thursday to Michigan authorities in connection with her 2020 election tampering indictment, after a wild week where she was labeled a fugitive and spent a night in jail after being arrested in Washington, DC.

The special prosecutor who charged Lambert in Michigan, DJ Hilson, confirmed that she turned herself in Thursday morning and appeared in Oakland County Circuit Court.

“The judge ruled that the Michigan bench warrant is now set aside, and she was taken into custody for the sole purpose of collecting her DNA and fingerprints,” Hilson said.

    So I don’t know the first thing about the law other than watching suits and I’m not even American and even I reckon I could pass the bar if these people could.

    Lambert’s DC arrest, and her surrender in Michigan on Thursday, were due to a warrant that was issued after she failed to appear at recent hearings in her criminal case.

    Wtf she’s a lawyer and had a warrant out for failure to appear? That’s not a good look for anyone, but especially a lawyer!

    She was in DC Federal court to represent the founder of Overstock (dot) com - a big time Trump supporter, election denier, and stereotypical Utah rich douche nozzle.

        I think the company itself isn’t but since I don’t want to inadvertently contribute to their treason, I’ve avoided the site for some time now.

          Thank you, how did you even stumble on this? I wasn’t a customer anyway but now definitely won’t be when the I’m in that demographic.

            It was reported locally (I, unfortunately, live in Utah) and it’s also come up on some YT videos.

            If you search him - Patrick Byrne, you’ll get plenty of info. Sadly, people like him are endemic to Utah.

            MeidasTouch on YT had a good video about the lawyer being arrested - she didn’t surrender per se. She showed up for the hearing for Byrne.

            Afterwards, the judge dismissed all the lawyers, except her. That’s when the US Marshalls came in.

            I’m surprised she didn’t pull out some “sovcit” bs.
