Attorneys for Trump in New Mexico confront new scrutiny

Associated Press  

SANTA FE, N.M. — Renewed efforts are underway to investigate and possibly discipline two attorneys that helped the Donald Trump campaign challenge New Mexico’s 2020 presidential election results in the weeks prior to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Caruso said by email that he was confident the Supreme Court will stand behind the previous finds, describing the accusations as “political claims by N.M. Democrat attorneys.” The new complaint against the attorneys highlights recent testimony in the congressional hearings about Jan. 6, including the role of Santa Fe-based lawyer John Eastman as a chief architect of plans after the 2020 election to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence into rejecting the electoral college results. But the Trump campaign still filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Albuquerque that sought to invalidate absentee ballots cast at drop boxes and halt the certification of New Mexico’s presidential electors. “Given the gravity of possible attorney involvement in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election, the Supreme Court, the Bar and the electorate all need any decision, either enforcing discipline or exonerating Mr. Caruso and Mr. Smith, to demonstrate deliberation and thoroughness, in a non-confidential and public manner.” New Mexico’s office of the disciplinary counsel in March wrote that “Caruso and Smith’s actions may warrant public hearings in some other forum, but not due to their actions within the confines of the rules of professional conduct.” A New York appeals court last year suspended the law license of Rudy Giuliani, the point man for pushing Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election.
