College Admissions Scandal Update: Lori Loughlin's 'Important' Pre-Trial Step To Expose 'Alleged Lies'

Lori Loughlin has reportedly made a new request as she heads towards her trial for her alleged participation in the ongoing college admissions scam.

In 2019, both Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying William "Rick" Singer $500,000 so that their daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose could attend the University of Southern California (USC). Subsequently, they were charged with mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery.

Now, according to the Boston Herald, both the "When Calls the Heart" star and other parents involved in the scheme want to be granted access to "texts and call transcripts" that they believe contain pertinent information regarding the "Varsity Blues" admissions scam.

The defendants are under the impression that various conversations that Singer had with women could highlight "important information about his alleged lies related to his college and professional connections." It is believed that the mastermind behind the scam told one woman that he had created an organization to stop gang violence in Los Angeles, while telling another that he worked as a life coach to various CEOs and NBA players.

This development comes after the "Fuller House" actress has reportedly started to take other steps behind the scenes in order to properly prepare for her upcoming trial. After developing a new "concern" about her potential sentence, it has been said that she has additionally started taking "grueling" steps in order to get ready for a "possible showdown" in court.

At this time, both Loughlin and Giannulli have pleaded not guilty to all aforementioned charges. However, some believe that her "gamble" could ultimately result in a harsher sentence.
