The Department of Justice last week announced the creation of a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to repay victims of left-wing lawfare. While it remains to be seen whether this funding could go to MAGA lawyers who are victims of frivolous left-wing ethics complaints brought before Democrat-dominated bar disciplinary authorities, other remedies are already underway.
With a new landmark lawsuit, the Trump Justice Department is finally fighting this “barfare” —leftist efforts to render the right defenseless by crushing or chilling conservative attorneys via stress-inducing probes, costly trials, and crippling penalties that include disbarment. On May 13, the DOJ filed a complaint against the bar disciplinary authorities of Washington, D.C., in defense of former Trump I DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, the Constitution, and the rule of law itself.
