Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert surrendered Thursday to Michigan authorities in connection with her 2020 election tampering indictment, after a wild week where she was labeled a fugitive and spent a night in jail after being arrested in Washington, DC.

The special prosecutor who charged Lambert in Michigan, DJ Hilson, confirmed that she turned herself in Thursday morning and appeared in Oakland County Circuit Court.

“The judge ruled that the Michigan bench warrant is now set aside, and she was taken into custody for the sole purpose of collecting her DNA and fingerprints,” Hilson said.

    She was in DC Federal court to represent the founder of Overstock (dot) com - a big time Trump supporter, election denier, and stereotypical Utah rich douche nozzle.

    Lambert’s DC arrest, and her surrender in Michigan on Thursday, were due to a warrant that was issued after she failed to appear at recent hearings in her criminal case.

    Wtf she’s a lawyer and had a warrant out for failure to appear? That’s not a good look for anyone, but especially a lawyer!

    So I don’t know the first thing about the law other than watching suits and I’m not even American and even I reckon I could pass the bar if these people could.
