U.S. Attorneys

In an extraordinary hearing, a federal judge testified Wednesday about a years-long case of two attorneys accused of ethical violations for watching and listening in on visits between inmates and their attorneys at Leavenworth. The first day of the hearing saw the U.S. attorney’s office in Kansas City, Kansas, described as aggressive, unprofessional and doing “virtually everything they could to thwart this investigation.”

Dr. Eithan Haim of Dallas had faced four counts for wrongfully disclosing the individually identifiable health information of underage patients at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.

The four U.S. Attorneys from Texas gathered with the Texas Council on Family Violence to discuss domestic violence prevention — something they say transcends politics.
