Former president Donald Trump’s elite strike force of lawyers, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis failed in promoting their preposterous claims of election fraud in the courts and are now under investigation by the Justice Department and a prosecutor in Georgia. A legal advocacy group, 65 Project, is dedicated to bring accountability to these three and other lawyers attempting to undermine democracy in the 2020 presidential election.

65 Project set out to disbar the over 100 lawyers who worked on Trump’s post-election lawsuits. It is pushing the American Bar Assocatio and state bar associations to adopt model language, “fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results violate the ethical duties lawyers must abide by.” (Axios, March 7, 2022, by Lachlan Markay and Jonathan Swan)
