An organization focused on electing Republicans to state attorney general positions has announced the return of a former executive director who resigned following the events of the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. The Republican Attorneys General Association revealed that Adam Piper will be rejoining the organization in his previous role, which he held from 2018 until early 2021.

Piper's resignation came after the Rule of Law Defense Fund, a fundraising arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association, issued a robocall urging supporters to participate in an event known as the March to Save America and proceed to the Capitol to 'fight to protect the integrity of our elections.' The gathering ultimately led to a breach of the Capitol by supporters of then-President Trump. Notably, the robocall did not explicitly call for violence or the storming of the building where lawmakers were certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
