The Justice Department has initiated a criminal investigation into former U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David R. Jones. The probe centers on Jones's romantic relationship with Houston lawyer Elizabeth Freeman, who worked on Chapter 11 cases before him. Jones resigned last year after failing to disclose this personal relationship. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur previously ruled that a letter concerning the relationship was unsubstantiated and should be excluded as evidence. A hearing is scheduled to address law firm Jackson Walker's notice to depose Jones.
