    It may not be appropriate in this case, but the Luckey family is prominent in that area. :clyde:

    Isn't there some U.S. law about spouses not having to testify against each other? :chris:

    Or is that just some TV drama bullshit?

    Applies in some circumstances Federally. State laws differ, of course.

    It's not clear from the above if he's protected - if he's in a state that doesn't follow federal common law, he'd have the right to assert privilege to stop her witnessing against him about events after the marriage. BUT the article doesn't make it clear if that covers events prior to the marriage, it just says SHE has the right to invoke in those cases - does he?

    Of course, this is a Federal investigation, so I assume they'd go with the Federal common law interpretation.

    Short answer, yes, it's called spousal privilege.

    Uh....not anymore, apparently...

    According to the Daily Beast, Gaetz—who is currently being investigated in child exploitation crimes to the sex-trafficking—has had his license pulled and can no longer practice law in Florida.

    Apparently, Gaetz has been too busy trying desperately to raise funds and being shot down during hearings on the Jan. 6 insurrection led by the Unseasoned to pay his lawyer fees.

    “The Daily Beast has learned that the Florida Bar has branded Gaetz as ‘delinquent’ twice in the past two years. The organization temporarily cut him off in 2019 and again in 2020, because Gaetz failed to affirm that he is properly handling and protecting any clients’ money in trust accounts. Lawyers must abide by strict rules to ensure they are not stealing or misusing money that belongs to the people they represent,” the Daily Beast reports.

    Of course Gaetz issued a statement and of course, it was caca.

    “Congressman Gaetz is no longer actively engaged in the practice of law. He is focused on representing his constituents in Congress, not the courtroom.”

    One Florida lawyer called Gaetz out on his BS.

    “He clearly doesn’t take his law license very seriously when he doesn’t take the time to pay the $265 dues,” Daniel Uhlfelder, who lives in Gaetz’s district, told the Daily Beast. “He’s not a serious lawyer. He’s not a serious congressman. He’s not a serious person. This is one small but symbolic example of that.”
