The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit, has submitted a complaint to the New York Attorney Grievance Committee against attorney Roberta Kaplan. The complaint alleges that Kaplan violated conduct rules by failing to correct what the group claims was false testimony during E. Jean Carroll's deposition in her defamation case against Donald Trump. The group contends that Kaplan knew that Carroll's legal fees were funded by a nonprofit associated with billionaire Reid Hoffman, which she did not disclose until shortly before the trial. The NLPC is requesting an investigation into Kaplan's actions. Trump was recently ordered to pay Carroll over $5 million after a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The Supreme Court has declined to hear Trump's appeal of the ruling.
