Education

Sauer received his Bachelor of Arts in philosophy and his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Duke University. He earned a Master of Arts in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame and was a 1996 Rhodes Scholar at University of Oxford, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in theology. Sauer received his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, where he was the articles editor for the Harvard Law Review.

Legal career

After law school, Sauer served as a law clerk to Judge J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and to Justice Antonin Scalia of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Sauer worked as a litigation associate at Cooper & Kirk and then became an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri. He later reentered private practice.

In January 2017, then-Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley appointed Sauer Solicitor General of Missouri.

On December 10, 2020, as Solicitor General Counsel of Record, Sauer signed the "Motion of States of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, And Utah To Intervene And Proposed Bill of Complaint In Intervention" in an attempt to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. The motion sought to intervene and join the Texas Bill of Complaint (filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton), to prevent the selection of presidential electors based upon the November election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

In January 2023, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey appointed Sauer Deputy Attorney General for Special Litigation. Sauer resigned from his post less than a month later, on January 27, 2023.

In July 2023. Sauer testified before a U.S. House Subcommittee as the Louisiana Department of Justice Special Assistant Attorney General.

Representing Donald Trump

On January 9, 2024, he represented former President Donald Trump in oral arguments before a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit regarding the issue of presidential immunity in the criminal case of United States of America v. Donald J. Trump.

At the hearing, in response to a hypothetical question posed by Judge Florence Y. Pan about whether a U.S. President could order SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival and be immune from prosecution, Sauer argued that the impeachment clause in Article II, Section 4, of the Constitution implies that the Senate must first impeach and convict before a president can be criminally prosecuted, and that acquittal bars prosecution. Sauer stated that this type of prosecution of a former president "would authorize, for example, the indictment of President Biden in the Western District of Texas after he leaves office for mismanaging the border allegedly".
