More than two dozen members of the D.C. Bar Association, including four of its former presidents, urged the group’s disciplinary board on Wednesday to investigate Attorney General William Barr for committing “serious ethical deviations” as head of the Justice Department under President Trump.

The 40-page complaint alleges that Barr has repeatedly served as Trump’s personal attorney, rather than act on behalf of the United States, in breach of Barr’s ethical obligations as a lawyer. The result, the letter states, has been to undermine and interfere with the rule of law.

“Mr. Barr’s client is the United States, and not the President,” the members write in the letter. “Yet, Mr. Barr has consistently made decisions and taken action to serve the personal and political self-interests of President Donald Trump, rather than the interest of the United States.”
