from The National Pulse:

President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order to end the legal obstruction of his agenda by activist lawyers. The order highlights individuals such as attorney Marc Elias, who is associated with the Elias Law Group LLP, citing concerns over alleged misconduct in legal proceedings against the federal government.

“Recent examples of grossly unethical misconduct are far too common. For instance, in 2016, Marc Elias, founder and chair of Elias Law Group LLP, was deeply involved in the creation of a false ‘dossier’ by a foreign national designed to provide a fraudulent basis for Federal law enforcement to investigate a Presidential candidate in order to alter the outcome of the Presidential election,” the order notes, referring to the infamous Steele dossier which instigated the Russia hoax investigation into President Trump. “Elias also intentionally sought to conceal the role of his client—failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton—in the dossier,” it adds.

The executive order outlines five policies intended to promote accountability in federal cases. These include sanctions on lawyers and law firms engaging in frivolous or unreasonable litigation. Moreover, regulations governing attorney conduct will receive heightened enforcement.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been directed to initiate disciplinary proceedings against any attorney whose conduct suggests violations of professional standards, particularly in cases involving national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity.

Additionally, law firms may face scrutiny regarding their supervisory obligations, with an emphasis on senior partners’ responsibility for junior attorneys’ actions. The past eight years of conduct and filings from attorneys and law firms litigating against the federal government will be subject to review.

In instances where misconduct is confirmed, potential further actions could include reevaluating security clearances or terminating federal contracts with the implicated law firms.
