PERSON: J. Christian Adams

Public Interest Legal Foundation

President and General Counsel

John Christian Adams (born 1968) is an American attorney and conservative activist formerly employed by the United States Department of Justice under the George W. Bush Administration. Since leaving the DoJ, Adams has become notable for making alarmist and false claims about the extent of voter fraud in the United States. He has falsely accused a number of legitimate voters of being fraudulent, and has published information about them online, including Social Security numbers.

After leaving his position in 2010, Adams accused the department of racial bias in its handling of a voter intimidation case against members of the New Black Panther Party; an internal review by the DoJ concluded that charges of bias were without foundation.

He was a member of Donald Trump’s election integrity commission which was intended to investigate claims of voter fraud. The establishment of the commission followed through on previous discredited claims by Trump that millions of illegal immigrants had voted in the 2016 United States presidential election, costing him the popular vote. The commission was disbanded less than a year after its creation without finding evidence of significant fraud.
