Federal and administrative actors pursued prosecutions and institutional changes with contested legal and ethical implications. The Trump administration sought indictments of lawmakers who accurately stated military obligations to refuse illegal orders, but a grand jury declined to indict. The ABA accreditation function is moving toward greater autonomy. An FBI raid of a Georgia elections facility involved government sharing of classified intelligence with a lawyer promoting debunked claims. Judge Rakoff held that defendant-shared materials created with a third-party AI service were not privileged. The Eastern District of Virginia lost its white-collar chief to private practice. Law professors urged state-level control over labor law.
