One of the lawyers currently representing Proud Boy Joseph Biggs in his federal seditious conspiracy trial in Washington, DC had his law license suspended for six months by the Connecticut court system for leaking confidential information while he defended conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in a Sandy Hook defamation trial, USA Today reports.
Norman Pattis said he will continue to serve on Biggs’ legal team, but he would not make statements or arguments until he learns how the Connecticut suspension impacts his ability to practice law in other jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia.
Pattis is accused of leaking the medical records of some of the family members of Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre victims, as well as two years of Jones’s text messages. Apparently Pattis was unaware that he had given the victims’ families’ attorneys the text messages until one of the lawyers questioning Jones in court told him.
