Title: U.S. Judge: Defense Lawyer’s Conduct In Russia Probe 'Unprofessional’
Post by: edpc on January 07, 2019, 10:28:20 pm

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. judge said on Monday that a lawyer defending a target of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian election meddling engaged in "unprofessional, inappropriate and ineffective" conduct, prompting the lawyer to say he might withdraw from the case.

Judge Dabney Friedrich told lawyer Eric Dubelier to stop what she called "meritless personal attacks" against Mueller's team. Dubelier is defending Concord Management and Consulting LLC, a Russian firm accused of funding a propaganda operation to sway the 2016 presidential election in Donald Trump's favor.

Dubelier said he needed to check with Concord to see if they still wanted him to work on the case, given that there appeared to be "some bias on the part of the court" against him.



Trump appointed judge is biased against him?
