As I’ve said on prior posts, this is a shakedown by Nafissatou Diallo who’s trying to pass herself as an innocent maid when she’s actually a prostitute looking to make a big score. She’s a con artist looking to score some cash to make this bogus civil suit to go away. Now her lawyer is getting caught with his pants down for his part of the shakedown.
New York Post
The Manhattan DA's Office is investigating the maid's lawyer in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex-assault case to determine whether there may be grounds for possible obstruction-of-justice charges involving civil-settlement negotiations, according to a source briefed on the probe.
The lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, who represents Strauss-Kahn accuser Nafissatou Diallo, is not cooperating with the probe, and has declined to turn over notes from the negotiations, at which legal teams for both the maid and Strauss-Kahn held ultimately fruitless talks regarding a civil settlement this past June.
The district attorney's probe was prompted by allegations that, during those talks, Thompson told Strauss-Kahn's lawyers that Diallo would make the case go away -- for the right price -- by not cooperating with prosecutors.
Thompson declined to comment to The Post. He told The Wall Street Journal this week that claims about settlement negotiations were "false."
No settlement was ever reached. But prosecutors were very concerned to learn that Thompson may have been making potentially obstructionist offers to the defense at the same time that he was refusing to let Diallo meet with them, the source said.
