A former Jackson Walker LLP lawyer on Thursday lost her bid to torpedo a subpoena from the U.S. Trustee’s Office seeking her bank records. The subpoena is part of an inquiry into her secret relationship with a former Texas federal bankruptcy judge. Court records indicate that the court denied the attorney’s request, thereby obligating her to comply with the subpoena.
