DOJ alerted federal judges that an attorney representing at least 17 alleged rioters charged in connection with Jan. 6 is reportedly hospitalized and possibly incapacitated after testing positive for COVID, leaving the bulk of his cases at a 'standstill'
came just a few months after his previous law firm, Pierce Bainbridge, faced accusations of financial misconduct.
Over the past two years, at least ten lawsuits have been filed against Pierce and his former firm, according to records from courts in Massachusetts, Texas, Arkansas, California and New York. The plaintiffs included a digital marketing company, legal support vendors, lenders, and a former law partner.
"I think we've reached a watershed moment here in America," Pierce told Breitbart Radio last year. "If this is not self-defense under these circumstances for Kyle Rittenhouse, then no one can defend themselves, and no one can defend this country." "This creates a potential conflict of interest for Attorney Pierce," Binger alleged in the court filing. "Given his own substantial personal debts, his involvement with an unregulated and opaque 'slush fund' provides ample opportunity for self-dealing and fraud. Money that should be held in trust for the defendant may instead be used to repay Attorney Pierce's numerous creditors.
