The impact that the disclosure will have on the case will depend on the circumstances and the substance of the communications, the ethics experts said. But legal ethics experts CNN spoke with said they could lead to limits being placed on the role Tacopina can play at trial or even his disqualification. He says he neither met nor spoke to Daniels.ĬNN has not seen the records in question. Tacopina denies that there is a conflict or that confidential information was shared with his office.
