Indiana Supreme Court files new disciplinary charges against AG Todd Rokita

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is facing a second disciplinary complaint from the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, which alleges he made false statements in a prior conditional agreement regarding his misconduct. This stems from his controversial comments about Dr. Caitlin Bernard, who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim, during a Fox News interview in July 2022. Following a public reprimand in November 2023 for violating professional conduct rules, Rokita issued a statement shortly after that contradicted his earlier admission of responsibility. The new complaint suggests that Rokita's actions demonstrate a lack of candor with the court and further dishonest behavior. Rokita has maintained that his comments were truthful and insists he did not violate any laws. His case is among several pending before the Indiana Supreme Court as the commission pushes for further disciplinary measures against him.
