Judge Clarke found Christensen lied repeatedly and instructed her client to delete a social media account during the Leon Black sexual assault lawsuit in New York.
The court ordered Christensen to disclose the misconduct ruling in future cases and Wigdor LLP to pay Black's legal fees related to the sanctions motion. The plaintiff is barred from using journals with falsified sonograms.
While the case remains active, Black's attorney called for its withdrawal and urged a federal investigation. Wigdor LLP no longer represents the plaintiff, and broader scrutiny continues over connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
