"I stand by the sound legal advice I gave, and these partisan lawfare prosecutions have to stop," Sandler said. "Why in five years of Dana Nessel are only Republicans the continuing targets of these partisan lawfare prosecutions?"

Jenell Leonard was the Clinton County Republican Party chairwoman in 2020, and James Renner of Lansing, one of the GOP electors, previously testified that she contacted him about the Dec. 14, 2020, meeting where the certificate was signed.

"I have been informed that my name was presented in a false and derogatory manner in open court," Tom Leonard said Wednesday. "I would expect the attorney general to move swiftly, as ethically required, to correct the testimony whether intentionally misleading or mistaken."

Giuliani adviser rebukes assertion
