One of the Democratic Party’s top lawyers, Marc Elias, has been sanctioned by a federal court for an ethics violation and for submitting a “redundant and misleading” filing.

Marc Elias, an attorney for Perkins Coie LLP who was involved in election-related lawsuits during the 2020 elections, was punished and criticized by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit on March 11. Several of his colleagues also were admonished.
