KKL and our friends at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick PLLC secured an important victory on behalf of Columbia Law Professor Daniel Richman, temporarily enjoining the Department of Justice from accessing Professor Richman’s electronic data — which had been unlawfully seized in 2019 and 2020 and retained for five years, and then recently subjected to a warrantless search by the government in its attempt to secure an indictment against James Comey.
In response to our emergency TRO motion filed Friday night, D.D.C. Judge Kollar-Kotelly last night issued an Order addressing our underlying Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g) motion, holding: Professor Richman is “likely to succeed on the merits of his claim that the Government has violated his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures by retaining a complete copy of all files on his personal computer and searching that image without a warrant.”
KKL lawyers Nick Lewin, Jonathan Bolz and Jessie-Lauren Pierce authored the brief with the able assistance of KKL Analyst Ashwin Marathe and the terrific team at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick PLLC.
