U.S. Department of Homeland Security former general counsel Joe D. Whitley was added to accused government leaker Reality Winner’s defense team thanks to a partner at Arnold Porter Kaye Scholer whose client First Look Media is now helping to fund Winner’s defense.
Arnold Porter partner Baruch Weiss confirmed this week that he recruited Whitley, now a partner at Baker Donelson in Atlanta, to support and augment the work of Bell & Brigham, a small Augusta, Georgia, firm that initially took on Winner’s defense and will remain on the case.
