A federal judge who dismissed two of
Lin Wood’s post-election lawsuits last year and called one of them “astonishingly speculative“ refused on Monday to recuse himself from the pro-Trump lawyer’s case against the State Bar of Georgia.
Wood sued the State Bar of Georgia earlier this year in response to the bar’s previously confidential inquiry into his post-election conduct and its related demand that he receive a mental health examination.
That case landed before U.S. District Judge
Timothy Batten, a
George W. Bush appointee who had previously dismissed two of Wood’s other lawsuits that landed on his docket last year after the 2020 election.
