A group of 15 law professors nationwide has reportedly filed a professional misconduct complaint against White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, saying she "brings shame upon the legal profession."

The letter was filed with the office that handles misconduct by members of the Washington, D.C. bar, The Washington Post said Friday. Conway was admitted in 1995.

“We do not file this complaint lightly,” the group said in the filing dated Monday. "We believe that at one time, Ms. Conway understood her ethical responsibilities as a lawyer and abided by them.”

“But she is currently acting in a way that brings shame upon the legal profession,” they added, citing “conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.”
