A judge ruled Thursday that Attorney Norm Pattis engaged in misconduct in not safeguarding “highly confidential” records of plaintiffs suing Jones in Connecticut.
A lawyer for Infowars founder Alex Jones testified in a show-cause hearing last week that the release of confidential medical records to opposing counsel in a defamation trial was due to a wrong link provided by his administrative assistant.
A Connecticut judge is still trying to get to the bottom of how confidential records of nine parties in a Connecticut lawsuit filed against InfoWars host Alex Jones ended up in the possession of an attorney defending Jones in Texas. According to a filing in the Connecticut case, a third party was involved in transmitting the information in a hard drive believed to contain confidential depositions and psychiatric records of the Connecticut plaintiffs from Jones' attorney in Connecticut.
