RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A civil lawsuit accusing a Virginia lawmaker of privacy violations is moving toward trial.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that a federal judge on Tuesday denied a request by Democratic Del. Dawn Adams to toss out most of the allegations made against her. Adams has denied any allegations of wrongdoing.
A former aide filed a lawsuit against Adams in July saying the Richmond-area lawmaker hacked into a private email account without permission.
Maureen Hains said she worked for Adams both as a political aide and as an unpaid helper with Adams’ job as a nurse practitioner. Hains said Adams hacked into her private email account to delete possible evidence of health care privacy law violations.
