Colleagues and Friends,

Just yesterday, LDAD filed an ethics complaint against Kenneth J. Chesebro for his conduct while acting as an attorney for the former President.

The complaint alleges that Mr. Chesebro was the mastermind behind key aspects of the President's fake electors scheme and the theory that Vice President Pence had the sole authority to recognize and count the fake elector votes from multiple states. His work was done in collaboration with attorneys John Eastman and Rudolph Giuliani.

Thanks in part to ethics complaints filed previously by LDAD, Mr. Eastman and Mr. Giuliani are already subject to ethics investigations and disciplinary proceedings. Our profession now must hold Mr. Chesebro accountable.

We are pleased to share with you the New York Times coverage of this complaint, which was also picked up by The Boston Globe.

Examples of the growing list of coverage include:

• Reuters:  Lawyer group says Trump attorney broke ethics rules in fake elector plan
• Law360:  Trump Election ‘Scheme’ Atty Hit With N.Y. Ethics Complaint
• Talking Points Memo:  Ken Chesebro Hit With Ethics Complaint Over Big Lie Involvement
  

We will be sure to keep you up-to-date on developments.

The detailed complaints filed by LDAD are critical to ensuring that members of the legal profession are held accountable when they violate their oath to protect the Constitution. Our work matters, but its sustainability depends on your generosity. Please contribute to LDAD via a donation through this link (which also instructs where you can send a check).

We thank you, as always, for your support.

The Board, LDAD
