STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: Some lawyers face scrutiny for supporting Donald Trump s drive to overturn a democratic election. Some lawyers made two kinds of statements after Trump s election defeat in 2020. They did not lie in court, where they would face legal consequences for lies. They only lied to you, making wild claims in press conferences. But some lawyers also made statements in court that were false enough that they face questions now. NPR s Carrie Johnson reports.
CARRIE JOHNSON, BYLINE: A measure of accountability may be coming for lawyers who tried to overturn the 2020 election results. This week in Michigan, some of them appeared for a hearing about whether they should face sanctions. The city of Detroit called their lawsuit sloppy, careless and an embarrassment to the legal profession. Over six hours, the judge grilled those lawyers close to Trump about who did what in the case and how much they vetted the claims.

Six months after the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, attorneys who promoted former President Donald Trump s false claims about election fraud are being forced to defend their actions in court.

I just think it s important, if we are to reset, that our profession is prepared to confront itself and make decisions about who we want to be, who we are and what it s going to require, which may be uncomfortable, to ensure that we hold our character, said Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, at an event sponsored by New York University School of Law.
