CfA executive director Michelle Kuppersmith said, “Katie Zacharia getting pushed out as White House Press Secretary is completely immaterial to the fact that she consistently, and apparently falsely, held herself out as a lawyer.

Weeks after CfA filed a complaint with the DC bar against Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, the sole signatory to the $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization” settlement fund, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams issued a ruling finding the lawsuit that led to the settlement was a sham because the parties were not adverse.

By serving as the sole government signatory to a settlement that creates a $1.776 billion fund to compensate the same January 6 defendants and Trump associates he previously represented as a private defense attorney, Mr. Woodward appears to have possibly violated multiple District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct.
