The Oversight Project is launching a law firm to defend targets of what it calls politicized lawfare.
Jeff Clark, a former acting assistant attorney general, said the firm will also investigate investigators behind probes he describes as meritless across the executive and legislative branches at the federal and state levels. He said it will also focus on state bar associations if law licenses are targeted or other sanctions are imposed on lawyers for political disagreements.
Clark announced the project in a post on X. He said the firm is looking for attorneys at any stage of their careers who are 'fed up with lawfare, barfare, weaponization' and want to reform the legal system.
Donald Trump Jr. endorsed the effort on X, calling it 'Good stuff. Important work.' He also said, 'Evil lawfare needs to end.'
The big picture: this is about more than one legal shop. It is a direct response to how power is used when government, prosecutors, and bar regulators collide with politics. For supporters of Trump and the broader America First camp, the target is an administrative and legal system they see as selectively enforced.
Why it matters: if Clark’s group gains traction, it could become a new front in the fight over taxpayer-funded institutions, prosecutorial discretion, and who gets protected when politics enters the courtroom. The bottom line: the battle over lawfare is now moving from rhetoric to a standing legal operation.
