Sentinel Action Fund super PAC leader Jessica Anderson accused Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb of “weaponizing” his authority to target conservatives after the House GOP launched an investigation into Schwalb and his investigation into the Federalist Society.

"AG Schwalb and his radical allies are weaponizing their power in an attempt to intimidate and silence their political opponents,” Anderson said in a post to X on Monday afternoon. “We need more fighters like [Jim Jordan] and [James Comer] who will stand up and protect free speech.”

Anderson’s comments come after it was announced that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-OH) sent a letter to Schwalb alerting him that they were looking into whether there is “improper” handling of a D.C. investigation into Leonard Leo, co-chairman of the Federalist Society legal group.

Schwalb started the investigation after one of Leo's seven nonprofit organizations allegedly paid excessive compensation to one of his for-profit companies.

The GOP lawmakers alleged that Schwalb’s investigation raised two major concerns, including his appearing to have a lack of jurisdiction (given Leo and his affiliates are based outside of D.C.) and the possible infringement of donor privacy rights.

Republicans have worked to tie Schwalb to Arabella Advisors consulting firm, which overlooks a web of left-wing groups — including the Campaign for Accountability, which started as an Arabella project until 2017, per Fox News, and brought the initial IRS complaint against Leo’s network. The complaint alleged that Leo "misused" his network's nonprofit cash by diverting $73 million to his for-profit companies, BH Group and CRC Advisors, for consulting services between 2016 and 2021.

Comer and Jordan said in the letter to Schwalb that the Campaign for Accountability brought forward the complaint “without evidence,” but it led to a D.C. investigation “within months.” The lawmakers have accused the attorney general’s investigation of being “politically motivated.”

Schwalb and his deputy Rosenthal have been knocked by conservatives for working at Venable law firm, which has represented groups within Arabella's network on matters such as the New Venture Fund and Sixteen Thirty Fund, per Fox News.

Campaign for Accountability has said it has “no relationship” with Arabella and the fact that they were “briefly fiscally sponsored" by other Arabella projects is “completely irrelevant to any of our work.” The Arabella-managed New Venture Fund sent at least $2.2 million to Campaign for Accountability after it had broken away from the network, according to tax documents obtained by Fox News.

After Schwalb received heavy backlash for targeting Leo’s network while seemingly ignoring Arabella and the Campaign for Accountability, the D.C. attorney general opened a similar investigation into Arabella Advisors. However, Leo’s allies previously told the Washington Examiner that they find the investigation “completely not serious."
