The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to rehear an appeal to undo sanctions against a handful of pro-Trump lawyers—including Sidney Powell—who filed a lawsuit challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election in Michigan.

In an April 15 entry in the case docket, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Ms. Powell’s petition for rehearing, effectively leaving in place sanctions against her and six other lawyers who were part of the Michigan lawsuit.
