Bradley J. Bondi has declared his candidacy for the presidency of the Washington bar association at a time when the group may have to address accusations regarding ethical standards violated by political appointees within the Justice Department. As a partner at Paul Hastings, his entry into this unpaid role comes amidst concerns over the influence of politics on prosecutorial decisions, particularly under Trump. Competing against Diane A. Seltzer, Bondi's candidacy emerges as the association faces potential complaints related to the conduct of Trump allies, highlighting its controversial past actions like Giuliani's disbarment for false election assertions.
Bradley J. Bondi, brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, has announced his candidacy to lead the bar association in Washington amid potential ethical accusations against political appointees.
The role of president at the bar association is unpaid and does not extend to controlling disbarments, so Mr. Bondi’s election comes during a politically charged environment.
Complaints against the conduct of Trump allies may soon arise, as the association previously disbarred Rudy Giuliani for advancing false election claims and could face similar issues.
Bondi faces competition from Diane A. Seltzer, who has greater involvement in the bar association, as the election period approaches.
