Overview

• A federal judge identified nearly 30 defective citations, including non-existent cases, in a February filing by Mike Lindell's attorneys in a defamation lawsuit.
• Attorney Christopher Kachouroff admitted to using generative AI to draft the filing but failed to verify the citations before submission, violating Rule 11 obligations.
• The legal team claims the errors resulted from mistakenly submitting an uncorrected draft instead of the final version and has since provided a corrected brief and metadata.
• Judge Nina Wang has ordered the attorneys to certify by May 5 that Lindell was personally informed of the court’s order and to submit sworn statements about their AI use.
• The defamation case, brought by former Dominion employee Dr. Eric Coomer, stems from Lindell's false election fraud claims targeting Dominion Voting Systems.
