President Donald J. Trump has signed a memorandum aimed at holding attorneys and law firms accountable for unethical conduct in cases against the federal government or when pursuing baseless partisan attacks. This action is intended to address concerns about misconduct that could potentially threaten national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity.
The memorandum directs the Attorney General to take necessary steps to prevent such abuses of the legal system and federal courts. President Trump emphasized the importance of accountability for lawyers and law firms engaging in illegal or unethical activities.
In line with his previous commitments, President Trump stated that this move is part of his broader efforts to end what he describes as the weaponization of government. He aims to protect the nation from those who exploit their influence for partisan gain or bad faith actions.
