- A U.S. judge on Tuesday disqualified James Cole, a Washington lawyer for China’s Huawei, from defending the telecommunications equipment maker against charges of bank fraud and sanctions violations.

Judge Ann Donnelly of U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York, issued her order after federal prosecutors argued Cole’s prior work at the Department of Justice created conflicts of interest.“There is a ‘substantial risk’ that Cole could use ‘confidential factual information’ obtained while serving as DAG to ‘materially advance’ Huawei’s current defense strategy,” the U.S. prosecutors said in a May court filing.

Huawei also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It had argued that the Justice Department sought to strip the company of its choice of counsel without fully explaining why. A redacted version of Donnelly’s decision to disqualify Cole will be made public by Jan. 10, 2020, the judge said in her order.
