House Administration Committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and two other Democratic members of the panel have a conflict of interest because each is represented by Marc Elias, the lawyer for two Democratic candidates in 2020 election results being challenged before the Lofgren panel, according to Republican critics.

“We write to bring to your attention to a serious conflict of interest regarding Marc Elias, an attorney with the law firm Perkins Coie,” Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), the ranking minority member of the administration committee, wrote in a March 19 letter to Lofgren.
