Kamala Harris Adds Brother-In-Law who Represented ‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh To Campaign Team
Vice President Kamala Harris’ brother-in-law, who once defended the notorious
“American Taliban,” has joined her revamped campaign team, according to a report.
Tony West, 58, will serve as a “powerful adviser” to the Harris’ presidential campaign, according to Axios, a move that comes after his 5-year-stint in the Obama administration’s Justice Department and subsequent high-level roles at PepsiCo and Uber.
West, who is married to Harris’ sister, Maya, also worked as an attorney for the San Francisco-based law firm Morrison & Foerster, where he defended the infamous John Walker Lindh, according to the
Washington Free Beacon.
Lindh, who abandoned the US to train with Osama bin Laden and fight for the Taliban in Afghanistan, was captured by American forces as an enemy combatant in November 2001.

The following year, West agreed to defend the traitor, arguing at trial that Lindh was no terrorist.
“He is not a terrorist,” Harris’ new hire told the Washington Post in 2002.
