Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk has joined a motion filed by NewsChannel 5 to unseal court documents related to a search of his office by the Tennessee Attorney General’s office. In his motion, Funk argues there is a conflict between the attorney general’s office representing him in cases while conducting an on-going criminal investigation into his office. In the motion, he also says that accessing the documents will reveal whether he has an obligation to report the attorney general to the Board of Professional Responsibility, request an advisory opinion from the board, and/or request court orders requiring the attorney general to withdraw from representing his office in all pending and future matters.
