Trump campaign bracing for legal battle over election, forming ‘coalition’ of lawyers
Efforts come amid a fierce war of words over the integrity of the vote
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
The Trump campaign is bracing for the possibility of a protracted legal battle in the event of a contested election, even forming what it's calling a “Lawyers for Trump†coalition to “protect the integrity†of November’s vote.
Campaign General Counsel Matthew Morgan told Fox News this week that the campaign is urging active and retired attorneys and even law students to volunteer in their nationwide efforts.
“Democrats are working to shred election integrity measures one state at a time, and there’s no question they’ll continue their shenanigans from now to November and beyond,†Morgan told Fox News. “The Trump campaign is fighting to ensure every valid ballot across America counts—once.â€
He added that the Lawyers for Trump coalition is growing “daily†and “will rally support for President Trump as they lend their time and legal expertise to protect the integrity of November’s election.â€
The coalition is being led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, as well as California Committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon and former Deputy White House Counsel Stefan Passantino. The group includes prominent Trump-allied attorneys like former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, former Attorney General Ed Meese and the president's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
