The Privacy Defense
Rush Limbaugh�s attorney is seeking to suppress medical records obtained by investigators who sought evidence of �doctor shopping� by his client�s because his medical privacy was violated in the process. A judge has yet to rule on the defense motion, which has held up prosecution efforts involving the case. Prosecutors used search warrants, which precluded any prior legal challenge to their request to gain access to Limbaugh�s medical records. The records are now in the custody of authorities, but at this time they are barred from using them to further their case against Limbaugh.
