A court on Wednesday is hearing the Boston Globe’s arguments that the testimony GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney provided about “financial matters” in the divorce case of Staples founder Tom Stemberg should be unsealed, the Associated Press reports. At the time of the divorce, Romney was the owner and chief executive of Bain Capital.
Stemberg’s ex-wife, Maureen Stemberg Sullivan, appeared at the hearing with lawyer Gloria Allred, who has previously suggested that “she’s sitting on information that could affect the presidential election.” They did not object to a Boston Globe motion to lift an impoundment order on Romney’s testimony in the case from the early 1990s.
