Last week, a group of news organizations including The Associated Press, Dow Jones & Company, Inc., USA TODAY Co., Inc., Hearst Corporation, The New York News Publishers Association, The New York Times Company, and Pro Publica, Inc, filed an amicus brief in support of CfA's petition to unseal the disciplinary proceedings involving John A. Sarcone III.
CfA filed a bar complaint asking the Office of Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of Ohio to investigate James Seth Metcalf, following a Franklin County judge finding that two board members of the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio had breached their fiduciary duties by serving as “mere puppets” of Mr. Metcalf and his business partner in a years-long campaign to steer tens of billions of dollars to their startup.
CfA's complaint to the New York Bar asks whether Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche violated the New York Rules of Professional Conduct arising from his role in the vindictive prosecution of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
CfA received a letter from the Attorney Grievance Committee of the Third Judicial Department of New York saying it determined, based on allegations brought forth in a CfA complaint, that the actions undertaken by New York-licensed attorney John A. Sarcone III while serving as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York amounted to professional misconduct.
CfA filed a complaint with the D.C. Board of Ethics and Government Accountability (BEGA) requesting an investigation into whether Ward 4 Councilmember and mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George violated the District’s Ethics Act by failing to properly disclose her family’s financial assets.
Campaign for Accountability filed a bar complaint asking the Florida Bar and the Virginia Bar to investigate Lindsey Halligan, a Florida-licensed attorney who Donald Trump designated as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
CfA's complaint highlights how Mr. Sarcone’s behavior across a series of events appears to violate myriad Rules of Professional Conduct by which all New York lawyers must abide.
Campaign for Accountability asked the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics to investigate Alina Habba, the Interim United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, for potential violations of the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct related to her ordering the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, subsequent prosecution of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, and announcing a criminal investigation into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin.
Today, Campaign for Accountability asked the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility to investigate Acting Deputy US Attorney General Emil Bove for potential violations of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct and DOJ policies related to his efforts to dismiss the indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams as part of an apparent quid pro quo scheme to advance President Donald Trump’s policy agenda.
Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, requesting an investigation into whether Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr violated the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct through his involvement in Rupert Murdoch's recent scheme to alter his family's trust.
