A lawsuit alleges the American Civil Liberties Union and several of its attorneys violated their fiduciary duty and attorney-client relationship by “defaming” whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, who has been linked to the National Security Agency’s spy-on-Americans program.
“This professional misconduct and illegality cannot be permitted by members of the bar, and it is despicable,” said attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.
Klayman has represented Montgomery in several cases, including when Montgomery was drawn into Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s case regarding immigration policies.
“The ACLU will be held to account under the rule of law for the huge damage it has caused Mr. Montgomery. This self-styled protector of the civil liberties is itself a fraud, as it puts its own liberal agenda ahead of its professional responsibilities,” he said.
The case names the ACLU; its president, Susan Herman; Cecillia Wang of the Immigrants’ Rights Project; Daniel Pochada of the Arizona office; Michael German; Andre Segura; and Joshua Bendor.
An email request to the ACLU for comment did not generate a response.
The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Miami.
