U.S. Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah, may have left Howrey six months before it dissolved, but that didn’t protect him against the fallout from the firm’s bankruptcy.

Lee spokesman Brian Phillips told the paper the Howrey estate still owes the former appellate litigation partner $100,000 and that if that money had been repaid, Lee could have kept the house. Contacted Monday by The Am Law Daily, Phillips said, “We’ve said all we’re going to on this matter.”
