“There is a long history of false accusations destroying the lives of innocent people, like Joshua Wright, including those recognized by important court rulings,” Jesse R. Binnall, a partner with Binnall Law Group in Alexandria, Virginia, wrote. “There is a reason Americans do not trust their Congress wasting resources based upon an obvious hit piece cannot be a good way to earn back their trust.”
The congressional request for information regarding George Mason University’s Title IX investigation into Antonin Scalia Law School professor Joshua Wright is “deeply troubl[ling]” based on “ misleading slander,” attorneys representing the professor said in a response Wednesday.
Wright’s counsel with the Binnall Law Group responded to a letter penned this week by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-North Carolina, who also serves as chairwoman for the Committee on Education and the Workforce, which asked for more information regarding GMU’s investigation into claims that Wright used his academic influence to seduce female law students.
