The evangelical Christian lawyer who led the defense team in President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial is accused of trying to cover up the murder of one of his organization’s employees by a New York City gang that preyed on gay men, after which he and his adult son allegedly tampered with evidence and impeded the police investigation into the 2022 killing.
In a $20 million-plus lawsuit filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court and obtained by The Independent, Linda Clary Umberger claims attorney Jay Sekulow and his son, Jordan, not only misled the cops about her son’s murder, but also blocked her from collecting an insurance payout she had hoped to receive following his death.
