The state of Connecticut has temporarily suspended the law license of John Michael Farren, a former White House lawyer in the George W. Bush administration who has been charged with trying to kill his wife.
The state’s Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel issued the temporary suspension, and will argue in court later this month to permanently take away Farren’s license.
Farren, who served as deputy counsel in the Bush White House from 2007 on, was charged with attempted murder and strangulation after allegedly beating his wife with a flashlight and choking her Jan. 6 at their home. He is being held on $2 million bond and was reportedly on suicide watch.
