Kaufman tells Claire: Don’t interfere with my job
Atty. Nicholas Kaufman, legal counsel for former President Rodrigo Duterte, has urged Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro to refrain from interfering with his work concerning Duterte's case at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Kaufman expressed his request during an interview, stating that he would not interfere with Castro's job and suggesting she has an "unhealthy obsession" with him.
This statement comes after Castro criticized Kaufman's legal fees and advised him to focus on Duterte's defense against allegations of crimes against humanity related to the war on drugs.
Earlier, on June 27, Kaufman filed a motion with the ICC seeking to submit a Philippine Senate report to counter what he described as "factual gossip" from the prosecution regarding Duterte's interim release.
