Lori Loughlin of “Fuller House” fame got some bad news on Friday when federal prosecutors denied her claims that law enforcement engaged in misconduct, made up evidence, or tried to entrap her in the infamous college admissions scandal.

Daily Mail reported that prosecutors denied her claim in a court filing in response to comments from a federal judge who said there were “serious and disturbing” allegations that investigators had forced key witness William “Rick” Singer, the mastermind behind the scheme, to lie about how much parents involved in the case knew. Though prosecutors admitted that they should have turned over 47 pages of notes from Singer sooner, they denied that they were acting in “bad faith.”

“In a sprawling, fast-moving prosecution, the failure to produce the notes earlier was simply a mistake,” the court filing stated. The prosecutors went on to say that investigators told Singer to “use ruses” during recorded calls with the parents, but added that his calls with them matched up with evidence gathered and did not constitute government misconduct.

“The government did not use Singer to suborn the commission of a crime,” prosecutors said, explaining that they did not look into Singer’s notes because there was “nothing to investigate” and they knew his allegations were untrue.

“The defendants have suffered no prejudice, and their suggestion that the notes somehow ‘exonerate’ them, or reveal that the evidence against them was fabricated, is demonstrably false,” they wrote.

The prosecutors also said that the government has evidence that Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli the money they paid to Singer was “anything but a legitimate donation,” and that they knew that it would be used to bribe officials at the University of Southern California to admit their two daughters. Loughlin and Giannulli’s defense has long been that they did not know $500,000 that they gave to Singer was bribe money, and that they instead thought it was a legitimate donation to the school.

Singer claimed to the FBI on Wednesday that while he “always knew he was doing a quid pro quo,” he did not realize that this was the same thing as bribery until later. If convicted on all charges against them, Loughlin and Giannulli are each facing 45 years in prison. Their lawyers refused to comment when asked about the latest developments in the case on Friday.
