Federal judge imposes $12,220 sanctions on Alan Dershowitz for his limited role in lawsuit by failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
Dershowitz signed the complaint & said he was only paid for 3 or 4 hours of work. reuters.com/legal/legalind…

Another thread on @RudyGiuliani's anti-anti-corruption campaign in Romania, his failure to disclose, and a possible conflict between that work & his representation of President Trump:
Last week, @RudyGiuliani wrote a letter to the President of Romania, complaining about Romania's anti-corruption measures, but Giuliani never mentioned that he had been paid to write the letter.
Romanian politicians apparently thought Giuliani's letter was "based on his professional experience rather than part of a paid engagement," according to a story in today's WP wapo.st/2C3jJv4
