WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Michigan on Wednesday demanded that lawyers who unsuccessfully sued to overturn former President Donald Trump's election defeat reimburse the state $22,000 for legal costs, and the City of Detroit was preparing a claim expected to be far higher.

State election officials made the court filing to meet a deadline for state and local reimbursement claims under a ruling by U.S. District Judge Linda Parker.

She ordered the repayment as part of sanctions against the lawyers who included Sidney Powell, a former campaign lawyer for Trump, and prominent litigator Lin Wood.

The Trump lawyers sued in Michigan last year to overturn Democratic President Joe Biden's election victory over Trump. Parker suggested they might deserve to lose their law licenses.
