DETROIT, (AP) -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick filed a lawsuit Wednesday against a lawyer who leaked racy text messages to the Detroit Free Press and kicked off a scandal that brought down Kilpatrick's administration and sent him to jail.

The lawsuit, filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, cites recent testimony by attorney Mike Stefani before a disciplinary board that he leaked the messages to the newspaper.

The suit says Stefani violated a confidentiality agreement requiring him to turn over all copies of the explosive messages in exchange for settling police whistle-blower lawsuits involving three ex-Detroit officers he represented.

James Thomas, Kilpatrick's attorney, told the Detroit Free Press that any damages would go to the city of Detroit. The lawsuit seeks $2.666 million in damages.

As big as a low-life that mayor hip hop is...he’s probably got a good case against Stefani.

Without the leaks, there never would have been a trial. Meanwhile, the stripper Kwame banged and his wife banged up is still dead.

A diversionary tactic meant to distract from the greater ‘iceberg’.
