  16. Subject: Complaint Regarding Pam Bondi's Conduct as U.S. Attorney General and Potential Conflicts of Interest
  17.  
  18. Dear Disciplinary Counsel,
  19.  
  20. This complaint concerns Pam Bondi's conduct in her official capacity as United States Attorney General and her alleged involvement in matters concerning President Donald Trump's personal business interests, raising concerns under Florida's Rules of Professional Conduct and federal ethics laws.
  21.  
  22. Specifically, concerns arise from her prior role as a personal attorney for President Trump during his first impeachment trial and as a Special Advisor in the Office of White House Counsel. While public officials are allowed to transition to government service, federal ethics laws, including 18 U.S. Code § 208 (Acts affecting a personal financial interest) and 5 CFR Part 2635 (Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch), impose restrictions on their participation in matters involving former clients.
  23. These regulations aim to prevent conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety. They generally require recusal from "personally and substantially" participating in any "particular matter involving specific parties" in which a former client is a party or represents a party, especially if there is a direct and predictable effect on their financial interests or if confidential information gained from prior representation could be used.
  24.  
  25. Reports indicate that Ms. Bondi has been involved in matters that could be perceived as related to President Trump's personal interests, potentially in violation of these ethical standards and her duty to uphold the rule of law impartially. Her recent actions, including the reported dismissal of the Justice Department's top ethics lawyer, further raise questions about adherence to these principles.
  26.  
  27. I request that The Florida Bar investigate whether Ms. Bondi's actions as U.S. Attorney General violate Florida's Rules of Professional Conduct, particularly those pertaining to conflicts of interest and upholding the integrity of the legal profession.
  28. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
  29.  
  30. Sincerely,
  31. [Your Name/Organization Name]

  49. Subject: Complaint Regarding Todd Blanche's Conduct as U.S. Deputy Attorney General and Potential Conflicts of Interest
  50.  
  51. Dear Disciplinary Counsel,
  52.  
  53. This complaint concerns Todd Blanche's conduct in his official capacity as United States Deputy Attorney General and his alleged involvement in matters concerning President Donald Trump, raising concerns under New York's Rules of Professional Conduct and federal ethics laws.
  54.  
  55. Specifically, concerns arise from his prior role as a personal attorney for President Trump in multiple federal criminal cases, including the 2024 criminal trial in New York City. Lawyers transitioning to government service are subject to stringent ethics rules to prevent conflicts of interest and maintain public trust. Federal ethics laws, including 18 U.S. Code § 208 (Acts affecting a personal financial interest) and 5 CFR Part 2635 (Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch), restrict government employees from participating "personally and substantially" in any "particular matter involving specific parties" where a former client is a party or represents a party, especially if the matter is the same or substantially related to their previous representation.
  56.  
  57. Reports indicate that Mr. Blanche has been involved in matters that could be perceived as related to President Trump's interests, such as his recent meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell concerning the Jeffrey Epstein case. Critics have questioned whether his direct involvement in such matters, given his past representation of President Trump, constitutes a conflict of interest, potentially violating ethical standards and his duty to act impartially. These concerns stem from the potential for the use of confidential information gained during private representation or the appearance of impropriety.
  58.  
  59. I request that the Attorney Grievance Committee investigate whether Mr. Blanche's actions as U.S. Deputy Attorney General violate New York's Rules of Professional Conduct, particularly those pertaining to duties to former clients (e.g., Rule 1.9) and upholding the integrity of the legal profession.
  60. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
  61.  
  62. Sincerely,
  63. [Your Name/Organization Name]
  64.
