Fox News
According to ProPublica records, the embattled litigator's law firm, Girardi Keese, was approved for a $1.5 million loan on April 15, 2020.
The funds were supposed to be doled out to pay the firm’s 84 employees, Us Weekly reported, which noted that it remains unclear if the firm had ever received the loan or if it was distributed to workers as intended during the coronavirus pandemic. The 82-year-old is currently in the midst of an intense legal battle centered on his former law firm and allegations that he and his estranged wife, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne, 49, embezzled millions of dollars that was supposedly intended as settlement money to family members of victims of the 2018 Lion Air crash.More Related News
