Over 700 Lawyers Urge U.S. Attorney General to Defend Legal Independence Amid Trump Administration Attacks

More than 700 lawyers and legal groups representing a wide range of viewpoints have signed a letter urging U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to defend the independence of attorneys and law firms. The letter comes as the Trump administration intensifies its criticism and attacks on some of the country’s top legal offices.

The signatories expressed concern over what they see as efforts to undermine the autonomy of legal professionals and institutions, particularly those opposing or investigating the administration. They called for robust protections for legal independence to maintain the integrity of the U.S. justice system.
