Detroit Asks Judge to Sanction Trump Campaign for Spreading Disinformation


Lawyers for the City of Detroit have asked a Judge to Reprimand Trump’s Campaign for spreading “Disinformation” in a Court Filing about the Certification of a Michigan County’s Election Results.

Trump’s Campaign, on Thursday Nov. 19th, said they were Voluntarily Dropping a lawsuit Contesting Michigan’s Election Results because Election Officials in Wayne County “met and declined to certify the results of the presidential election.”

But In fact, Republican Members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, First didn't Certify the Results, but then Reversed Themselves after a Public Outcry.

Detroit’s Lawyers said that the Campaign included “impertinent and false language” in the Filing and asked a Federal Judge to Strike the Disputed Document from the Case Record. Detroit’s lawyers did Not Request a Monetary Penalty, but said U.S. District Judge, Janet Neff, had “the authority to strike materials from the record as a sanction.”

Neff has Not yet Ruled on the Request. Mark “Thor” Hearne, the Trump Campaign Lawyer Submitted the Document.

The Four-Member Wayne County Board Certified the Election Results in the County. Two Republican Board Members then filed Affidavits seeking to “rescind” their Votes, but that Effort is Symbolic because there is No Way for Certification to be Rescinded through the use of Affidavits.

Trump’s Campaign Misstated the Facts to make a “gratuitous, public statement about their purported reason for voluntary dismissal, before the Court could reject their baseless claims of election fraud,” Detroit’s Lawyers said.

Federal Law allows Trump’s Lawyers to “voluntarily dismiss their claims, but it does not allow them to use a Notice of Dismissal to spread disinformation,” Detroit’s Motion stated.
