Abbe Lowell

Abbe Lowell is an attorney who has recently been in the news for representing two high-profile individuals in separate legal matters. First, Lowell is representing journalist Don Lemon, who was arrested in connection with his coverage of an anti-immigration protest in Minnesota. Lemon's arrest stemmed from his reporting on protests against President Trump's immigration enforcement policies, including an incident where protesters disrupted a church service. Lowell has pledged to vigorously fight the charges against Lemon. Second, Lowell is representing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook in a Supreme Court case. This case involves President Trump's attempt to fire Cook based on allegations of mortgage fraud, which she denies. The Supreme Court appears inclined to rule in favor of Cook, potentially setting a precedent regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve. Lowell's involvement in these cases highlights his role as a legal advocate in matters of press freedom and the independence of governmental institutions.
