Kari Lake has reached a settlement in a defamation lawsuit brought by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.
Richer, a Republican election official, sued Lake after she falsely accused him of helping to rig the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, which she lost. Lake, who made election fraud claims a central part of her campaign, has now conceded in legal documents that her statements about Richer were false. The details of the settlement have not been disclosed, but the case marks a significant moment in the ongoing fallout from the 2022 election.
This settlement comes after months of legal battles and public controversy surrounding Lake's refusal to concede the election.
