Government Accountability Project (GAP) and National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) challenged executive actions creating a new employment category that reclassified certain “policy-influencing” government employees and stripped them of key procedural protections. Campaign Legal Center filed a brief in support of GAP and NARFE’s position, alerting the court that these executive actions are subject to judicial review, undermine congressional intent and threaten to chill the speech of federal employees. 

In September 2026, Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that President Donald Trump violated federal campaign finance law — namely the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) — by raising and spending “soft money” via MAGA Inc., a PAC with which Trump has long been associated. 

Campaign Legal Center, Democracy Defenders Fund, and the NAACP Office of General Counsel, on behalf of LULAC, the NAACP, NAACP California/Hawaii State Conference, and NAACP Los Angeles Branch moved to intervene in a Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit seeking to potentially block the counting of ballots of more than 20,000 California voters. The groups are defending the freedom to vote in the 2026 midterm elections and arguing that DOJ lacks the authority to force California to disenfranchise eligible voters based on unreliable data and in violation of state and federal law.
