Professor charged in China case sues Harvard over legal fees
BOSTON – A Harvard University professor charged with hiding his ties to a Chinese-run recruitment program sued the Ivy League school on Friday over its refusal to pay his legal defense costs, accusing it of “turning its back on a dedicated faculty member."
Charles Lieber, who was chair of the department of chemistry and chemical biology, was arrested in January at his office on campus and charged in federal court with lying about his involvement in China’s Thousand Talents Plan, a program designed to lure people with knowledge of foreign technology and intellectual property to China.
Lieber's attorney, Marc Mukasey, has promised to mount a vigorous defense and has said that “when justice is done, Charlie’s good name will be restored.”
The lawsuit says Harvard denied Lieber's request to advance his defense costs, hasn't agreed to reimburse him at all and is demanding that he essentially “prove definitively his innocence to Harvard” before his trial to get financial help.
"Employees who find themselves accused of wrongdoing rely on their employers' promises to pay their defense costs," the complaint says.
“Instead of following suit, and supporting their long-standing, well-respected employee, Harvard has placed Professor Lieber on administrative leave, publicly denounced him, improperly characterized the charges against him, and permanently and falsely associated him with academic espionage, forever harming his reputation," it said.
A Harvard spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit. The university is cooperating with authorities in the criminal case.
The lawsuit accuses Harvard of breach of contract and says the school's failure to follow through will leave Lieber, who was diagnosed years ago with a blood cancer, and his family "impoverished.”
“It is disturbing that Harvard acted solely its in own self-interest by turning its back on a dedicated faculty member who suffers from a terminal illness and who is presumed innocent. More importantly, it is illegal," the lawsuit says.
Authorities say Lieber was paid $50,000 a month by the Wuhan University of Technology in China under his Thousand Talents Program contract and awarded more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at the Chinese university. In exchange, prosecutors say, Lieber agreed to apply for patents and do other work on behalf of the Chinese university.
Authorities say Lieber lied about ties to the program and the Chinese university, telling federal authorities that he was never asked to participate in the Thousand Talents Plan. He's been indicted by a grand jury on two counts of making false statements to authorities — a charge that calls for up to five years in prison if he is convicted.

Whitmer plot a new twist in fight for battleground Michigan
Gretchen Whitmer knew she’d have the spotlight Thursday. And she decided not to waste it.
Hours after the FBI revealed a group of anti-government vigilantes had plotted to kidnap her, the Democratic governor of Michigan addressed her state — and the nation — with a message that didn’t mince words about whom she blamed for the threat: President Donald Trump was complicit for “giving comfort to those who spread fear and hatred and division.”
It was a familiar move for a governor who has repeatedly drawn the president into heated public battles that may only hurt him in a pivotal state against Democrat Joe Biden.While she risked politicizing the moment, the governor said Friday that she didn’t think twice about calling out the president.
Whitmer's remarks were aimed at appealing to Michigan Republicans unhappy with the state of their party. She quoted President Ronald Reagan's 1981 address to the NAACP in which he condemned Americans “who still hold perverted notions about what America is all about.”
Opponents of Whitmer's orders demonstrated at the Michigan Capitol the following month, some of them armed with semiautomatic assault rifles. However, there was no indication in the criminal complaint that the men in the kidnapping plot were inspired by Trump.
Authorities also have not publicly said whether the men were angry about Whitmer's coronavirus orders.
