摘要

A state circuit judge has ordered two Columbia law firms not to spend any of the$75 million fee S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson gave them for alleged legal work to secure a$600 million political settlement in a plutonium deal, according to court filings at the Richland County courthouse. State Judge Alison Lee ordered law firms Willoughby & Hoefer and Davidson, Wren & DeMaster to not do anything that would lead to the "transferring, spending, pledging or otherwise encumbering the proceeds of the$75 million wire transfer" that the state sent to them after being approved by Wilson.
