Lincoln Project co-founder's ex-wife wants him jailed for contempt over $130K in support

The ex-wife of Steve Schmidt, the disgraced Lincoln Project cofounder, has asked a Utah court to hold the liberal political operative in contempt of court for his failure to fork over money she claims he owes her, including for her interest in a membership at one of the priciest private clubs in the country, according to documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

A court order filed on Nov. 7, 2022, reveals that lawyers for Schmidt’s ex-wife, Angela Schmidt, say that the man who reportedly talked of turning the anti-Trump Lincoln Project into a vehicle for “generational wealth” owes her for her part of a membership at the Glenwild Golf Club in Park City, Utah, which boasts that it is “as exclusive as it is desirable” and at one point counted Michael Jordan as a member.

Angela Schmidt also says her ex-husband owes her $84,000 for “mortgage payments Stephen has failed to pay,” and at least $50,000 for “$10,000 monthly payments Stephen has failed to pay Angela.” Her attorneys want Schmidt to be held in contempt of court for his alleged failure to comply with his court-ordered obligations and for the court to slap him with a “sentence of up to 30 days in jail for each contempt charge pursuant to Utah Code 78B-6-310.” The court ordered Steve Schmidt to appear later this month on Nov. 29 for a hearing on her claims.
