As campaigning for the 2024 election heats up, some are wondering if the lawyers behind the pro-Trump effort to subvert the last election could repeat their Big Lie because of a lack of punishment, writes USA Today's John Fritze.
People who advocate for punishing the pro-Trump crowd say it's to prevent the same thing from happening in 2024.
“From our standpoint, we wanted to make sure that lawyers know they’re not going to get away with this," the 65 Project's Michael Teter told USA Today.
Others worry that efforts from groups like the 65 Project open Democrats to similar scrutiny should they try to challenge their own elections in the future.
Attorneys who participated in Trump's effort to overturn the 2024 election, like Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell, have faced sanctions -- with Giuliani having his law license suspended in New York. Another Trump lawyer, Jenna Ellis, was censured by the Colorado Bar Association in March as part of a settlement in which she acknowledged making false statements about the election. Powell has been hit with sanctions as well.
But many others have not been, Fritze wrote.
"More than two years after courts largely dismissed a flurry of lawsuits from allies of former President Donald Trump aimed at reversing the election, the debate over whether to punish the lawyers who filed those suits continues to play out across the nation," he wrote.
