What's this?

Based only on that article I think it's impossible to say. Hankey


approached "Trump's camp"... is that a lawyer on the case or a financial person? Or Trump?

If the lawyer doesn't know or have reason to believe something was in the works then there is no violation. I read some of the ABA rule and it's a bit murky but my reading is that if the lawyer comes to know that something he filed is false then he is required to correct it. I don't think the fact that Hankey is not a professional bonding agent has anything to do with anything. He made his fortune in subprime loans. He is a credible creditor. If I emailed Trump and said I would lend him a half billion dollars that wouldn't be credible and there would be no duty to inform but Hankey is a completely different story and I don't see why a lawyer knowing of this would not be required to correct his previous representations.
