For decades, U.S. authorities have been preparing to prosecute one of the world's most feared drug traffickers. They say they are seeking a life sentence and $14 billion in forfeited drug proceeds.
Abid Qureshi is a partner at the Washington, D.C., firm Latham & Watkins. Colleague and former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler says he is a "brilliant" lawyer with "legendary" collegiality.
They allege the attack "was directly and proximately caused" by the then-secretary of state's mishandling of government secrets. Legal experts say the lawsuit would have to meet a high bar to proceed.
