Gop State Attorneys General Campaign Group Brings Back Leader Who Resigned In Aftermath Of Jan. 6

An organization with the mission of electing Republicans to state attorney general positions is bringing back a former executive director who resigned in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Republican Attorneys General Association announced the position for Adam Piper on Friday.

Piper held the job from 2018 until early 2021.

He resigned after the Rule of Law Defense Fund, a fundraising arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association, sent a robocall to supporters encouraging "patriots" to attend an event called the March to Save America and then join a walk to the Capitol "to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections." The event turned into a storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters.

The robocall did not call for violence or invading the building where lawmakers had assembled to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.
