A law firm partner known for civil litigation has reinvented himself as a lawyer for conservative causes and the accused U.S. Capitol rioters.
Name partner John Pierce of Pierce Bainbridge represents at least 17 people accused in the Capitol attack, more than any other lawyer, the Daily Beast reports.
He formerly represented accused Kenosha, Wisconsin, shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, but withdrew from the case after prosecutors told the court that Pierce is apparently in debt, and his fundraising “provides ample opportunity for self-dealing and fraud.”
