DOJ Moves to Stop DC Bar's Targeting of Federal Attorneys
The Justice Department filed a complaint against DC Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton Fox III, the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel, and the DC Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility, accusing them of weaponizing bar discipline to regulate federal government actions and seeking to halt the DC Bar’s prosecution of former Acting Attorney General Jeff Clark over internal deliberations related to 2020 election fraud; the action supports President Trump’s executive order to end the weaponization of the federal government and follows related DOJ filings and statements in other cases.
