Joe Biden’s government continues to deny its involvement in attempting to remove Donald Trump from the ballot in a number of U.S. states, with the leading proponent of the endeavor – Noah Bookbinder – recently quietly removed from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) website which previously featured him prominently as a Biden-Mayorkas appointee.


Bookbinder is the president and CEO of the left-wing lawfare organization known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The National Pulse can reveal that until just days ago, in late 2023, he appeared on the DHS website as a member of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s ‘Advisory Council’. No rationale has been given for Bookbinder’s recent removal. The National Pulse has reached out to DHS for comment.


Bookbinder, also a former Obama-era appointee, was working through his CREW organization to remove former President Donald Trump from Colorado’s 2024 primary ballot while also serving as an appointee in the Biden government. Web Archive links indicate Bookbinder was an active member of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)’s Homeland Security Advisory Council until at least December 21, 2023. The Colorado lawsuit – backed and funded by CREW – asking Trump be removed from the primary ballot was filed on September 6, 2023.

For at least four months, Bookbinder was serving as a political appointee under President Joe Biden while CREW funded and provided legal counsel to the petitioners. In fact, when State District Court Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled against CREW – finding the Office of the President did not fall under the purview of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment – Bookbinder was quoted promising the decision would be appealed, indicating he was playing a direct and active role in the lawsuit.


“We always knew this case would end up before the Colorado Supreme Court, and have been preparing for that from the beginning,” Bookbinder said in a press release at the time. “We are planning to build on the trial judge’s incredibly important ruling that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection, and we are ready to take this case as far as necessary to ensure that Donald Trump is removed from the ballot.”


That was on November 21st, 2023 – while Bookbinder was still listed as an active appointee in the Biden government. The Colorado Supreme Court ultimately overturned Judge Wallace’s ruling and removed Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot.
