Nora Dannehy
Nora R. Dannehy, the federal prosecutor who quit the U.S. Department of Justice investigation into how the FBI handled its probe of Donald J. Trump’s campaign connections to Russia, was named Monday as the top legal aide to Gov. Ned Lamont.
The hiring of Dannehy, who led the corruption investigation of former Gov. John G. Rowland in 2004 and then served as acting U.S. attorney and deputy state attorney, brings a high-profile legal talent into Lamont’s office at the mid-point of his four-year term.
“She joins my administration at a unique time in our state’s history as we fight the COVID-19 pandemic in what we hope are its final months, and having her counsel will be a tremendous benefit to our office, and the people of our state,” Lamont said.
