WASHINGTON (AP) — A prominent defense attorney whose star clients have included Snoop Dogg pleaded guilty Friday to leaking grand jury information to reporters about a political conspiracy case against a rapper from the Fugees.
Michel's trial included testimony from such figures as actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Kenner’s attorney said in court documents that the reporters originally agreed to sign a protective order, but later changed their minds.
L. Barrett Boss, one of the defense attorneys, said Kenner was planning to retire after Michel’s trial.
But Boss said Kenner is “very strained financially” because he spent $1.4 million “out of pocket” on Michel’s defense.
