We challenge ethics abuses and abuses of office in the executive branch and Congress. We file complaints, request investigations, develop and advocate legislation and make public cases to hold public officials accountable for improper actions.
- We filed complaints at the Justice Department against former Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling for his recusal from the Russia investigation. The complaints helped lead to his recusal and to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
- We filed five complaints at the Justice Department against Attorney General Barr for his repeated biased actions to support President Trump. The complaints also challenged Barr’s repeated violations of Justice Department norms, standards and rules designed to carry out the Department’s mission of providing impartial justice for all Americans.
- We filed a complaint against Rep. Devin Nunes, then chairman of the House Intelligence Committee for violating House ethics rules.
- We advocated legislation to strengthen the ethics laws for the executive branch and Congress and to strengthen the enforcement of ethics and campaign finance laws.
