Lori Loughlin is hoping her case never even makes it to court with her latest legal move.
, that might not happen, because the couple's legal team is working to have the entire case dismissed.
Loughlin's attorneys claim that because the FBI instructed Rick Singer, the man behind the scandal, to lie to parents about where their money was going, the case should not move forward. A memo filed by the lawyers states that "the Government belatedly disclosed Singer's contemporaneous written notes revealing that those recordings were a sham carefully engineered by government agents in an effort to 'entrap' Defendants and 'nail' them 'at all costs.'"Because of the circumstances, the legal team says that there's enough misconduct from the government investigation to dismiss the case.
"The Government’s extraordinary misconduct warrants extraordinary relief. The facts known so far justify dismissal of the indictment,” the memo continues. "At a minimum, the Court should order suppression of the tainted recordings." The team also cites the fact that Singer told the investigators and other defendants that the payments were "Suppression is essential because the recordings are highly inflammatory, prejudicial, and deliberately misleading — especially in light of Singer’s other statements to Defendants and the Government that the payments were not bribes," the memo reads.
