A one-time attorney for the White House aide who provided some of the most shocking testimony before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has sued a law professor over remarks he made on social media.
Stefan Passantino, a lawyer who served as White House ethics counsel under former President Donald Trump, sued Andrew Weissmann, an MSNBC legal commentator and author, over a post Weissmann made on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
