In 2021, Sadow was a critic of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act,[6][5] claiming that the law was both overused[7] and also used beyond reasonable limits.[8] In 2023, he took over from Drew Findling as the lead counsel[5] for Donald Trump during his Georgia election racketeering prosecution.[4] (In 2017, Sadow had stated that he did not support Donald Trump.)[5]
