Effort to disqualify lawyer part of US campaign against Huawei: counsel

REUTERS: The effort to stop a former U.S. Justice Department official from representing Huawei is another step in a broader U.S. government campaign against the Chinese company, a lawyer for Huawei argued on Wednesday.

In oral arguments in Brooklyn federal court, Levy told U.S. District Court Judge Ann Donnelly that the decision to try to disqualify Cole was part of a"barrage" against the company that also includes a separate Justice Department case alleging trade secret theft and a decision to place Huawei on a Commerce Department blacklist that bans most U.S. sales to the firm.

"The ultimate question is whether Mr. Cole has the government's confidences," Kessler said."We don’t think it’s a close call.”
