  • Biden Letter 09092020 DJTFP
    Jenna Ellis, Esq. Senior Legal Adviser [email protected] September 9, 2020 Biden for President Attn: Jennifer O’Malley Dillon PO Box 58174 Philadelphia, PA 19102 Re: False, Misleading, and Deceptive Biden Campaign Advertisement Dear Ms. O’Malley Dillon: On behalf of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., President Trump’s principal campaign committee, this letter notifies you that Biden for President (the “Biden Campaign”) produced and caused to be posted on Joe Biden’s Twitter feed a digital ad1 that contains intentionally false and misleading statements that cannot be verified when it alleges that President Trump made derogatory comments towards fallen American military heroes (the “False and Misleading Ad”). President Trump unequivocally denies making these statements. The Atlantic article2 and the False and Misleading Ad both rely upon statements allegedly made by anonymous sources who were directly contradicted on the record by twenty-one individuals present with President Trump that day. Additionally, the contemporary facts in the Secret Service record totally debunk this fake story. In fact, President Trump has a monumental record of supporting veterans and veterans’ causes – probably more so than any other President in American history. The False and Misleading Ad by its very nature is unreliable. Twitter claims that it has a role in slowing the spread of misinformation in a statement published on June 14, 2017, reading in part: “Twitter’s job is to keep people informed about what’s happening in the world. As such, we care deeply about the issue of misinformation and its potentially harmful effect on the civic and political discourse that is core to our mission.” The statement goes on to describe generally the action Twitter takes in instances of policy violations.

    January 20, 2021 Attorney Grievance Committee Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division, First Judicial Department 180 Maiden Lane New York, New York 10038 (212) 401-0800 Email: [email protected] Re: Professional Responsibility Investigation of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Registration No. 1080498 Dear Members of the Committee: Lawyers Defending American Democracy (“LDAD”) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization the purpose of which is to foster adherence to the rule of law. LDAD’s open letters and statements calling for accountability on the part of public officials have garnered the support of 6,000 lawyers across the country, including many in New York.1 LDAD and the undersigned attorneys file this ethics complaint against Rudolph W. Giuliani because Mr. Giuliani has violated multiple provisions of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct while representing former President Donald Trump and the Trump Campaign. This complaint is about law, not politics. Lawyers have every right to represent their clients zealously and to engage in political speech. But they cross ethical boundaries—which are equally boundaries of New York law—when they invoke and abuse the judicial process, lie to third parties in the course of representing clients, or engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation in or out of court. By these standards, Mr. Giuliani’s conduct should be investigated, and he should be sanctioned immediately while the Committee investigates. As lead counsel for Mr. Trump in all election matters, Mr. Giuliani has spearheaded a nationwide public campaign to convince the public and the courts of massive voter fraud and a stolen presidential election.

  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Part 171, Democracy Forward Foundation makes the following request for records. Background On October 4, 2017, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave an unscheduled press conference [herein “the Press Conference”] to address early morning press reports that he openly disparaged President Trump and had been on the verge of resigning this past summer amid clashes with the White House.1 The press conference was held despite an already scheduled press briefing led by Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert.2 During the press conference, Secretary Tillerson stated he did not speak with the President ahead of his unscheduled appearance. Secretary Tillerson also refused to refute reports that he “openly disparaged the president, referring to him as a ‘moron,’ after a July 20 meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials”:3 “REPORTER: Can you address the main headline of this story that you called the president a moron, and if not, where do you think these reports — “TILLERSON: I’m not going to deal with petty stuff like that.
