The pro-Trump lawyers who sued to overturn the one-term president’s election loss in Michigan should pay the state more than $200,000 in legal costs, say officials.
A judge ordered last month that the nine lawyers, who include Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, repay the fees to state and local election officials as part of sanctions against them.
US District Judge Linda Parker will now review the $204,156 bill to see if the requests are reasonable.

..."“This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” the judge said in her decision.
And she added that the case was “never about fraud – it was about undermining the People’s faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so.”
The lawyers who brought the suit now have 14 days to object to the filings from the state and city.
Ms Powell has said that she had a duty to raise the issues on behalf of Mr Trump.
“We have practiced law with the highest standards,” she said in July.
“We would file the same complaints again. We welcome an opportunity to actually prove our case. No court has ever given us that opportunity.”
