Trump campaign pulls Michigan lawsuit after Wayne County certifies votes

DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Trump campaign has withdrawn its lawsuit in Michigan after saying that it had achieved its goal to make sure every vote was counted.

In a statement by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, the campaign said it was pulling the lawsuit.

“This morning we are withdrawing our lawsuit in Michigan as a direct result of achieving the relief we sought: to stop the election in Wayne County from being prematurely certified before residents can be assured that every legal vote has been counted and every illegal vote has not been counted," Giuliani said.

Which lawsuit Giuliani is referring to is not entirely clear but multiple lawsuits have been filed by the campaign.

Trump and his lawyers filed a federal lawsuit on Nov. 11 in Michigan against Wayne County and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, claiming irregularities, incompetence, and unlawful vote counting. Trump wanted the state to hold off on certifying the election until it was verified that the votes were cast legally.
