Stefan Passantino has taken a leave of absence from law firm Michael Best & Friedrich following an allegation that he advised a Trump White House staffer to mislead the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack at the US Capitol.

Passantino, who was once the top ethics lawyer in the Trump White House, later advised White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as she prepared to go before the committee. CNN reported that committee members believe Passantino urged Hutchinson to mislead the panel. Hutchinson switched lawyers before testifying publicly in a June committee hearing.

Passantinos bio has been scrubbed from Michael Bests website. Hes on leave given the distraction of this matter, he said Wednesday in a email. Passantino said he was not acting on behalf of Michael Best in his work for Hutchinson and pushed back against the allegation that he advised her to mislead lawmakers.

The January 6th Select Committee mentioned in at least one of their hearings that they had found evidence that someone in Trump's orbit was committing witness tampering with an unnamed witness. We now know that that person is Stefan Passantino, and he was trying to get Cassidy Hutchinson to lie to the committee.

Also probably getting a disciplinary referral to whoever takes care of that in his jurisdiction.

A good and fitting end.
