Judge orders to release Mitt Romney’s testimony in friend’s divorce case


Unknown | 08:34 |

A judge has ordered to release the testimony made by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a decade old divorce proceedings of one of his closest friends, the Boston Herald said.

Maureen Stemberg Sullivan, the ex-wife of Staples co-founder Thomas G. Stemberg, had asked Norfolk Probate & Family Court Judge Jennifer Ulwick to unseal the records.

Sullivan, 61, of Charlestown, and Stemberg, 63, of Chestnut Hill, were involved in a notoriously nasty divorce with disputes over finances that stretched on for a decade after it was finalized. The court papers have been impounded since 1989.

Romney’s Bain Capital helped Stemberg start Staples in 1986.

Romney’s lawyer did not fight the release of the transcripts.

Sullivan and Stemberg remain under a gag order, which Sullivan’s lawyer, celebrity feminist attorney Gloria Allred, is fighting.
