A legal watchdog group that seeks to sanction the lawyers who pushed former president Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud through US courts has asked the Texas state bar to suspend or revoke Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s licence to practice law for his involvement in “frivolous” election lawsuits in Pennsylvania and Texas.
The group, known as The 65 Project, sent a complaint on Wednesday to the Texas bar’s Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel requesting an investigation into Mr Cruz’s work representing Mr Trump and Pennsylvania Republicans in the weeks following Mr Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
