Kari Lake has conceded in the defamation suit filed against her by a Maricopa County official who claimed Lake spread false information about him as part of a conspiracy regarding the 2022 election for Arizona Governor she lost, the Arizona Republic reports.
Lake filed a motion seeking a default judgment for Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer in part because she would have been forced to turn over information in discovery that would have worked against her defense in trial. It also would not have helped her latest political grift, her campaign for a US Senate seat.
