William H. Pauley III Biography

William H. Pauley III is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on August 14, 1952 in Glen Cove, New York, United States. William H.

Clapper, over the mass collection of metadata by the NSA for nearly every phone call made within the United States is legal under Section 215 of the Patriot Act. Pauley’s ruling was in stark contrast to the ruling of Justice Richard J. Leon in the District of Columbia, Klayman v. Obama. In May 2015 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Pauley’s ruling, and remanded it for more consideration.

In August 2018, Pauley presided over the hearing in which Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of providing false information to a credit institution, and two counts of campaign finance law violations. Cohen implicated Donald Trump in the hush money scandal, which involved payments to Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels in exchange for the women’s silence about alleged affairs with Trump (see Stormy Daniels–Donald Trump scandal). In December 2018, Pauley sentenced Cohen to three years in prison.

Pauley was in charge of the criminal prosecution of Ben-ami Kadish, who in 2009 admitted to conspiring to be an unregistered agent for Israel and confessed to leaking classified information from U.S. military agents to Israel in 1985. As of 2009 Pauley sent Kadish to an amount of $50,000 in fines, but he declined to sentence him to prison due to the defendant’s health and age (Kadish was aged 85 at the time of his sentence). Pauley declared: “This offense is a grave one that implicates the national security of the United States. Why it took the government 23 years to charge Mr. Kadish is shrouded in mystery.”
