Yet another lawsuit has been filed against former Gov. Robert Bentley
Robert Bentley is being sued. Again.
Alabama’s former governor, who is currently in the midst of a defamation lawsuit for allegedly spreading false information in an effort to conceal his ongoing inappropriate relationship with a staffer, is being sued now by James Nolin, the former chief information officer in Alabama’s Department of Finance, who claims Bentley defamed him in an effort to conceal the former governor’s inappropriate relationship.
Specifically, Nolin’s lawsuit claims that after Nolin complied with a subpoena to turn over Bentley’s emails to law enforcement investigators, Bentley launched a campaign to ruin Nolin, ultimately accusing him of several crimes, painting him as the suspect in an FBI investigation and personally terminating him.
Nolin is also suing former Alabama Law Enforcement Agency secretary Stan Stabler and ALEA attorney Michael Robinson for their roles in assisting Bentley.
“After Nolin produced the emails, the Defendants set out to destroy Nolin’s reputation and credibility as a potential witness against Bentley and to further cover up Bentley’s criminal and unethical conduct related to his affair with Rebekah Mason,” Nolin’s lawsuit states. “Bentley had a pattern and practice of using and attempting to use ALEA and its law enforcement officers, agents and employees and other public resources, including subordinate personnel, equipment and time under his control, for his own personal interests at taxpayers’ expense.”
