65 Project Warns Lawyers Against False Claims

Donald Trump has issued alarming threats to weaponize the justice system against his political opponents if re-elected, raising concerns among former justice officials about potential authoritarianism and undermining the rule of law in the U.S. His statements, made on platforms like Truth Social and during campaign events, target perceived enemies including election officials and lawyers. In response, the 65 Project, a bipartisan watchdog group, is launching ads in swing states to warn lawyers against participating in efforts to challenge the election results, emphasizing that such actions could jeopardize their licenses. These ads come after previous successful efforts to disbar attorneys like Rudy Giuliani for unethical practices during the 2020 election. The legal landscape is heating up as both parties prepare for an anticipated fierce battle over electoral integrity in the upcoming election. As tensions rise, the 65 Project aims to deter aggressive legal challenges by reminding lawyers of their ethical obligations.
