Going After Our Lawyers!

Trump is going after our lawyers now... he is trying to intimidate the law firms that support us... they are going after a lawyer who like all lawyers called a judge to ask them questions. But now Trump & Company are trying shut up the firms that help us.

Federal prosecutors have charged an attorney who represented families in a lawsuit against Alabama’s gender-affirming care ban with a felony charge of making a false statement.

The charge against Carl Charles,  an attorney for Lambda Legal, a national civil rights organization that primarily works on LGBTQ+ issues, comes over six months after U.S. District Judge Liles C. Burke reprimanded Charles and two other attorneys for allegedly judge-shopping in the case.

Prosecutors accuse Charles of denying before a three-judge panel investigating that he made a call to U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson’s office “to discuss the filing” and “an upcoming request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction,” which prosecutors allege was false.

They are losing all of Trump wild EOs in court so they did what Trump always does... go after their lawyers!

After a hearing, Burke issued an injunction against the law, ruling that it interfered with parents’ ability to make decisions for their children and that the state failed to prove that the drugs were harmful. In 2023, a three-judge federal panel overturned the injunction. U.S. Circuit Judge Barbara Lagoa, citing Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which struck down federal abortion protections, ruled there was no constitutional right to gender-affirming care.

The investigation into alleged judge-shopping came in May 2022 after the original lawsuits were withdrawn and refiled.

But Trump hand picked prosecutors looking for dirt reopened the case even though it has no merit. Lambda Legal had this to say...

Lambda Legal Statement in Support of Counsel Carl Charles

Posted On September 9, 2025

Yesterday, an indictment in the Middle District of Alabama of Lambda Legal Counsel Carl Charles was made public. Lambda Legal issued the following statement: 

“This unjustified federal indictment is an outrageous act of governmental overreach. Lambda Legal rejects the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms for exercising their First Amendment rights by speaking up on behalf of causes to which government officials object. 

“For more than three years, our colleague, Carl Charles, has been subjected to unprecedented and abusive judicial proceedings, smearing his character and undermining his role in fighting for some of the most vulnerable people in society. We fundamentally disagree with the characterization of the events that underpin this indictment, which ignores the fact that the routine phone call at issue was acknowledged by the court to be entirely legal and proper. 

“We unequivocally stand behind Carl and all of our attorneys, who adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards every day in pursuit of our mission to advance and defend the rights of LGBTQ+ people.”
