When the full story of this is told, I suspect some lawyer or group of lawyers in the US Attorney's Office feared for their bar licenses and forced the dismissal and disclosure. trump, of course, doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he continues his lies.

Many of you recall that in 2020 I helped lead an effort to defeat Donald Trump more than 60 times after the election. In 2026, DOJ is 0-19 in cases to obtain state voter files and Elias Law Group is helping lead the way. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.
