J. Christian Adams

Republican legal activist

J. Christian Adams is a Republican activist and one of the U.S. attorneys involved in the George W. Bush-era scandal of politicized Justice Department hirings. He quit the DOJ during the Obama administration and became famous among conservatives for absurdly accusing the Obama-era DOJ of racism against white Americans, and more specifically for pushing a fake narrative about the department’s actions against the New Black Panther Party. He was also a member of President Trump’s short-lived election commission and is a columnist at the conservative website PJ Media.
