Defeated Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is the target of a lawsuit filed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.
Court documents reveal that Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is suing defeated Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
In the lawsuit, Richer alleges Lake, as well as her campaign and the fundraising entity, of accusing Richer of intentionally sabotaging the November 2022 election. "Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded the falsity of those accusations. Courts at every level of the Arizona judiciary have concluded that Defendants have no evidence to support their wild claims, but Defendants continued to spread these egregious and harmful falsities to further their own agendas - and line their own pockets - at Richer's expense," a portion of the lawsuit reads.
In addition, Richer claims statements the defendants made damaged his reputation by "cutting him off from Republican networks and donors who once supported his career and future ambitions for elected office," and that his physical and metal health have been impacted, requiring him to "spend time and money of additional medical treatment and medication."
