The powerhouse attorney who shielded Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump from Mueller's Russia probe is now sounding the alarm about their patriarch's rampage against America's institutions.
Abbe Lowell delivered a chilling warning to The Financial TimesFinancial Times: the system that once protected them is now under unprecedented assault.
"I have never been as concerned as to whether our system can withstand the pressure it is being put to," Lowell declared, warning that Trump is "pushing the tree to the point that it could break."
Back in 2017, when Mueller's investigation was bearing down on the Trump family, Lowell swooped in to protect both Kushner and Ivanka from potential criminal charges.
Now, the 73-year-old legal veteran—who's also defended Bill Clinton and Hunter Biden—is watching Trump demolish the very constitutional framework that protected his family, he said.
"The crack you put in the wall today becomes the gash tomorrow," Lowell had warned Congress in 1998. Today, he grimly notes that prophecy is coming true: the wall is "more than cracked, not yet crumbled."
Fighting back, Lowell launched Lowell & Associates to combat government "over-reach." He claims nine law firms have already "buckled" under Trump-era intimidation, accepting nearly $1 billion in work while silencing internal critics. His new firm is attracting defectors from those compromised organizations.
Current clients include New York AG Letitia James—now under federal investigation after her massive Trump fraud victory—and former DHS official Miles Taylor, whose security clearance vanished after criticizing Trump.
With a Supreme Court favoring broad executive power, Lowell warns challengers must focus on First Amendment grounds rather than presidential authority. Because if Trump succeeds in dismantling judicial independence, Lowell predicts, "there will just be rubble from that wall."
