One of the lawyers who pushed Donald Trump's conspiracy theory about election fraud will need a doctor to confirm he's mentally fit to practice law, he revealed on Thursday evening.
"For the last many months, I have worked 20 hour days," L. Lin Wood posted on Telegram. "I speak truth. The truth is I am tired."
"I am fighting battles on every front. The State Bar of Georgia told me today they would demand a mental health exam from me if I wanted to keep my law license," Wood posted. "My mind is sound."
"I try to live a principled life. There is no basis for the Bar's demand. But am I choosing my battles carefully?" he asked.
