EXCLUSIVE — A new conservative law firm told the Washington Examiner it is taking on its first case of “lawfare” for a client accused of defamation in Washington, D.C.

Junel Jeffrey, who has served in U.S. military public affairs roles, is suing retired Army Major Charles Spears for criticizing her alleged September 2025 social media post suggesting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk deserved his murder, court records show. The Oversight Project is now representing Spears as its first-ever client, seeking to become a shelter for “conservatives targeted for exercising their constitutional rights,” the firm told the Washington Examiner.
