Connecticut authorities want to suspend the law license of a former top attorney to President George W. Bush while the lawyer faces charges of trying to kill his wife because she wanted a divorce.
The state Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel filed paperwork this week to suspend John Michael Farren’s license, and wants a trustee appointed to handle his clients’ cases.
Farren was arrested Jan. 6 in New Canaan on charges of attempted murder and strangulation.
A date has not been set for a hearing over suspending his law license. He returns to Stamford Superior Court Jan. 21 for the criminal case.
