THE LINCOLN PROJECT PRESS RELEASE

STATEMENT ON MARK MEADOWS PUSHING ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR TO ATTACK THE LINCOLN PROJECT

June 30, 2022 – A statement from the Lincoln Project on Mark Meadows pushing Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate The Lincoln Project as detailed by Sarah D. Wire in the Los Angeles Times:

“The Lincoln Project was the only SuperPAC Trump truly feared in the 2020 election. Now we know how far he’d go to punish us for leading the fight against him.

“Today, we learned the Trump White House tried to use the power of the Federal Government to come down on us. After we highlighted their corrupt courtroom antics to overturn the election, the Trump Campaign created a 12-page research brief attacking The Lincoln Project that Mark Meadows passed to Attorney General Bill Barr. Its purpose? To pressure Barr into attacking us for engaging in protected political speech.

“We said well before the election that Donald Trump was a power-hungry authoritarian who would stop at nothing to cling to the Oval Office. Even before January 6th, 2021 we warned he would resort to violence and cheating to hold power. Other groups stopped fighting after election day. We never did, and never will.

“Trump’s low-rent strip-mall lawyers threatened to sue after The Lincoln Project put his daughter and son-in-law on a Times Square Billboard, but trying to use the Department Of Justice to attack The Lincoln Project is a shocking abuse of power.”

The Lincoln Project is a leading pro-democracy organization in the United States — dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy.
