Overview

• Connecticut’s attorney general said the office accepted service of a subpoena for Gov. Ned Lamont in the federal trial of former deputy budget director Kosta Diamantis.
• Defense attorney Norm Pattis called the subpoena an insurance policy and indicated he may seek Lamont’s testimony after Diamantis takes the stand.
• The governor has the option to move to quash the subpoena, according to the attorney general’s spokesperson.
• On day three of testimony, contractor Antoinetta Roy told jurors she paid Diamantis and hired his daughter after he told her to “take care of my daughter.”
• Under cross-examination, Roy admitted she previously lied to investigators and said Diamantis did not directly tell her to hire his daughter, a credibility challenge similar to the defense’s approach with contractor John Duffy.
