Liberal Virginia DA hit with bar complaint following judge booting her office from criminal case

Virginians for Safe Communities filed a formal complaint with the Virginia State Bar against Commonwealth’s Attorney for Loudoun County Buta Biberaj on Thursday.

Virginians for Safe Communities filed the formal complaint with the Virginia State Bar on Thursday against Commonwealth’s Attorney for Loudoun County Buta Biberaj "for breaching professional ethics under the Virginia State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct." The complaint requests "a formal investigation and appropriate sanctions, which could include disbarment – preventing her from practicing law."

The complaint follows Loudoun County Circuit Court Judge James Plowman booting Biberaj’s entire office from a serial burglary case earlier this month for "deliberately misleading the Court, and the public" in order to "sell" a plea agreement. Plowman previously served as the Loudoun commonwealth’s attorney before Biberaj’s election in 2019,
