AG ​Ellison led a coalition of 22 AGs in filing a comment letter opposing a proposed rule by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that seeks to limit state bar disciplinary proceedings related to alleged ethical misconduct by DOJ attorneys.

“In Minnesota, we have seen DOJ attorneys resign en masse and we have seen orders from our Chief Judge noting the frequency with which the federal government has violated court orders. Now more than ever, it is important for DOJ attorneys to know they are held to the same ethical and professional standards as any other attorneys, and will not be insulated or immunized based on political loyalties. The last thing in the world any member of the Trump regime needs is protections from the consequences of unethical behavior.” – AG Ellison
