The 65 Project is a legal activism campaign[1] seeking to "disbar and discredit"[2] Trump-affiliated[3] lawyers who worked on lawsuits supporting Trump's baseless attempt to overturn the 2020 election.[4] It has been described as a "dark money group."[2][4][5][6]

The 65 Project's Managing Director is Michael Teter,[7] an attorney suing Fox News as counsel for Ray Epps.[8] The project was also devised by Democratic political consultant Melissa Moss, a former senior Clinton administration official, and operates through a not-for-profit named "Law Works."[4]
