"Michigan GOP Faces Leadership Turmoil and Legal Setbacks Amidst Credibility Crisis"
Michigan Republican Party Chair Kristina Karamo, the party’s state committee, and three former Hillsdale County Republican Party members have been ordered to pay over $25,000 for contempt of court. This penalty comes after they failed to comply with a previous court ruling that recognized a different faction as the legitimate leaders of the Hillsdale County Republican Party. Judge Michael Olsaver's April 2023 ruling was disregarded by the "America First" faction, leading to the contempt finding.
