Overview
- At a Thursday hearing, the judge barred Bock from viewing case files unless her lawyer is present and ordered password changes, deletions from her sons’ devices, and a list of any files sent.
- Prosecutors said jail calls since February captured Bock telling her son to pull documents from her Dropbox and send them to lawmakers and reporters using the alias “Daisy Hill.”
- The government said the leaks included FBI FD-302 interview summaries sent to a Star Tribune reporter, which it argued could expose cooperating witnesses to pressure before related trials.
- Judge Nancy Brasel declined to bar Bock from speaking with her adult sons, though she called the removal of exhibit markings from documents disturbing and evidence of consciousness of guilt.
- Bock remains set for May 21 sentencing in a $250 million pandemic fraud case, with the court allowing extra time for arguments on a term that could reach life under federal guidelines.
