- A former U.S. Justice Department official who now represents Huawei Technologies is expected in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday to defend his right to represent the Chinese company against U.S. charges of bank fraud and sanctions violations.
U.S. prosecutors claim lead Huawei lawyer James Cole’s prior work as the No. 2 official in the Justice Department created “irresolvable conflicts of interest” that disqualify him as counsel for Huawei in the case. “Cole had access to privileged and confidential information, including classified information, that he can use to the government’s detriment here,” prosecutors said in an August filing in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn.
Prosecutors will ask to close the courtroom for portions of oral arguments involving classified information, according to a letter to the judge on Tuesday.

"The fact remains that none of Huawei's core technology has been the subject of any criminal case brought against the company, and none of the accusations levied by the U.S. government have been supported with sufficient evidence. We strongly condemn the malign, concerted effort by the U.S. government to discredit Huawei and curb its leadership position in the industry," the company said in a statement.
