Trump's legal team, including Jenna Ellis, spread lies and conspiracy theories about our elections.
Today, @statesunited took action to hold Ellis accountable.

- The @January6thCmte has done amazing work. The states must build on it. @NormEisen, @GovCTW, and I lay out a plan for accountability in @Slate.
- Keeping elections free and fair. Very demure. Very mindful.
- Lawyers have a duty not to lie. There are consequences for violating that duty. Read my take on it with Ethics Czar @NormEisen in today’s @PostEverything. And thank you to leaders like @dananessel @JocelynBenson @gretchenwhitmer who are pushing for accountability.The lawyers who pushed Trump’s falsehoods may soon be done lawyering washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
- Moments ago, I joined @AGKarlRacine and @ADL, to announce a lawsuit to hold the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers accountable for the January attack on the U.S. Capitol. This case is about accountability. It's about consequences. It’s about preventing another January 6th.
- Sidney Powell admitted to election interference crimes in GA. If you use your law license to break the law & endanger our democracy, you should lose that license. With a bipartisan group, we @statesunited are urging the TX State Bar to seek disbarment. statesuniteddemocracy.org/powell-texas/
- More than half the country has an Election Denier running to oversee elections. If a single one of them wins, in a single state, that’s a five-alarm fire for our democracy. Latest, important coverage of #SUAction research from @abedelman & @NBCNews.
- Two Trump attorneys — and champions of the attempt to overturn the 2020 election — pleaded guilty in GA this week, admitting their actions were criminal. The stage is set for the rest of their co-conspirators. This is why pursuing accountability matters.
- Engaging voters in 2024? It’s handled. This year, we don’t need Olivia Pope — we’ve got the real deal. Thank you @kerrywashington for helping people understand why elections matter and what’s at stake.
- As lawyers, we swear to uphold the Constitution & the rule of law. Eastman violated that oath. And now a judge has weighed in and made a preliminary finding that he’s culpable. That’s a major accountability milestone as this trial winds down. statesuniteddemocracy.org/eastman-prelim…
- People who spread lies about our elections want to run them. Thank you @AlisynCamerota @CNN for covering this fight for our democracy. We’re keeping this issue front and center @statesunited. #SUAction
00:00 - Swift action from the California State Bar is critical for protecting the integrity of the legal profession from people like John Eastman. @NormEisen, @DennisAftergut & our own SVP of legal, Christine Sun, explain what’s next.
- As you read this, more than 300 bills are pending across the country to limit the freedom to vote. @StatesUnited is here to help state leaders fight back. Thank you to my partners, @GovCTW and @NormEisen, and our amazing bipartisan team.
