Sanctions sought against attorney general, ethics chief | www.myajc.com

Lawyers for former ethics commission director Stacey Kalberman on Friday asked a judge to sanction her former bosses, her successor and the Office of the Attorney General for failing to turn over texts and emails between Holly LaBerge and top aides to Gov. Nathan Deal.

Attorney Kim Worth said in her motion for sanctions filed in Fulton County Superior Court that the defendants’ failure to turn over such important documents as part of Kalberman’s lawsuit are a “manifest injustice and fraud upon the Court.”

A spokeswoman for Attorney General Sam Olens, who defended LaBerge and the commission against Kalberman’s original lawsuit, said “our attorneys acted professionally and appropriately in turning over every responsive document that our client provided to them.”

LaBerge’s private attorney, Lee Parks, said he had not seen the motion and could not comment.
