Judgement Day
"We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter obtained by Fox News.
"We urge all patriotic Republicans, former Republicans, conservative and center-right citizens, and independent voters to place love of country above party and ideology and join us in supporting Kamala Harris."
Among the signatories is Michael Luttig, the conservative judge who made headlines earlier this week with his historic decision to back a democrat over Trump.
"I am proud to join my colleagues and friends in this endorsement," Luttig wrote on X. He extended thanks to Harris and to Fox News.
Luttig was joined by former White House attorneys John Bellinger, Benedict Cohen, Peter D. Keisler, Robert M. Kruger, John Mitnick, Alan Charles Raul, Nicholas Rostow, Peter J. Rusthoven and Wendell L. Willkie, according to Fox News.
The twelve attorneys represent a small portion of Republicans who say they'll cross the aisle to ensure Trump does not reclaim the White House in 2025.
