Story at Main Justice. Excerpt:
The Justice Department has sparked a heated exchange of court filings after its decision to seek the disqualification of former Public Integrity Section lawyer Peter R. Zeidenberg from a Jack Abramoff tax case.
The government said Zeidenberg has no business representing Abramoff in his effort to recover nearly a half-million dollars in seized tax refunds because the Arent Fox LLP attorney prosecuted Abramoff associate David Safavian in 2009 as a trial attorney for the Justice Department’s public corruption unit.
