Former judge and unofficial counsel to Vice President Mike Pence, J. Michael Luttig, provides testimony during the third session of the US House Select Committee's probe into the January 6th assault on the Capitol, which transpired in Washington D.C., specifically on Capitol Hill, on June 16, 2022.

In an exclusive revelation, a prominent Conservative Republican has expressed support for Harris, labeling Trump as a potential danger to democracy.

"For the first time in his political career, renowned Republican figure Luttig will cast his vote for a Democratic Candidate in the 2024 presidential election. In a direct statement released to CNN, Luttig highlights the Democratic party's inclination to safeguard America's democracy, Constitution, and the Rule of Law, making it his unwavering choice.

Luttig gained fame for his persuasive role in urging Vice President Mike Pence to authenticate the 2020 presidential election results, despite Trump's attempts to overturn Joe Biden's victory. In a series of tweets at Pence's attorney's request, Luttig clearly elucidated the legal basis for Pence to disregard Trump's attempts to subvert the election outcome.

Since then, Luttig has revealed his stance as a persistent critic of Trump's administration. In endorsing Vice President Harris, he emphasizes the need to disregard partisan differences to impede Trump's potential return to the White House, due to his perceived unsuitability for the role.

Luttig acknowledges his belief in Harris's disparate political views, but asserts that these differences no longer matter in this election, given that he only considers the well-being of America's democracy, Constitution, and the Rule of Law.

Luttig's damning remark on Trump and support for Harris accentuate the immense ideological division that exists between traditional Republicans and the Trump-led Republican party. Luttig is just as critical of his own party as he is of Trump, who he collaboratively accuses of waging a war against American Democracy.

Luttig acknowledges the perilous consequences of Trump's unfounded assertions of victory in the 2020 election, making millions of Americans question the integrity of US elections.

The high stakes, Luttig argues, are reminiscent of the late 18th century, when America's founding fathers, including Hamilton, Jefferson, and others, united against the potential emergence of an autocratic demagogue.

Luttig concludes by underscoring the critical moment in time for Americans to declare their allegiance to America's democracy, Constitution, and Rule of Law.

Following the January 6, 2021, events, Luttig has publicly supported some Biden administration decisions, including the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Luttig joined other prominent Republicans, including Joe Walsh, Barbara Comstock, and Adam Kinzinger, in endorsing Harris."

Paraphrased Text:

"Luttig, a seasoned Republican, will publicly endorse a Democratic candidate for the first time in the 2024 presidential election. In a statement given to CNN, Luttig emphasizes the importance of the Democratic Party's dedication to protecting America's democracy, Constitution, and Rule of Law.

Luttig garnered attention by persuading Vice President Mike Pence to uphold the 2020 presidential election results, intercepting Trump's attempts to overturn Joe Biden's victory. In a series of tweets at Pence's attorney's request, Luttig clarified the legal reasoning for Pence to reject Trump's bid to overturn election results.

Since then, Luttig has emerged as a harsh critic of Trump's administration. In endorsing Vice President Harris, he emphasizes the urgent need to disregard partisan divisions to thwart Trump's anticipated return to the White House, due to his perceived unsuitability for the role.

Luttig acknowledges his belief in Harris's contrasting political views, yet he accentuates that these discrepancies are rendered irrelevant in this election, considering the prosperity of America's democracy, Constitution, and Rule of Law.

Luttig's vehement condemnation of Trump and endorsement of Harris underscore the substantial divide between traditional Republicans and the Trump-led Republican Party. Luttig is equally critical of his own party, as he jointly criticizes Trump for waging a war against American Democracy.

Luttig highlights the severe consequences of Trump's unsubstantiated claims of victory in the 2020 election, causing millions of Americans to question the legitimacy of US elections.

Luttig associates the high stakes with the late 18th century, when the country's founders stood united against the prospect of a demagogue, including Hamilton, Jefferson, and others.

Luttig concludes by underscoring the critical juncture in time for Americans to decree their support for America's democracy, Constitution, and Rule of Law.

Following the January 6, 2021, events, Luttig openly backed certain Biden administration decisions, including the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court."

In light of his critical stance towards Trump's administration, Luttig decides to vote for a Democratic candidate in the 2024 presidential election, acknowledging the Democratic party's commitment to preserving America's democracy, Constitution, and Rule of Law.

Furthermore, as a staunch critic of Trump's efforts to subvert the 2020 election results, Luttig continues to advocate for upholding the principles of democracy and the Rule of Law, even if it means crossing party lines.

At the Principles First Summit held at the Conrad Hotel in Washington, D.C, on February 25, 2024, former U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit judge, Michael Luttig, shared his insights.
