GOP lobbyists Juleanna Glover and Jeffrey Weiss have spent more than a year together in court battling during their divorce and current custody battle. But now they can be sure to spend a lot more time together there thanks to not just one, but two cases the one-time social power couple have pending against each other.
As Bloomberg reported last week, Global Policy Partners — a firm where Weiss serves as chief operating officer — filed suit Aug. 5 against Glover for “unlawful surveillance” of the company’s computer to “obtain a competitive advantage for [Glover] and her company.”
Court documents obtained by Yeas & Nays show Glover filed her own charge against Weiss three weeks earlier.
On July 16, an arrest warrant was issued against Weiss on charges of “harassing and following [Glover] for some time” after they were ordered by the judge in their custody battle not to contact each other.
As the affidavit states, their young son told the reporting officer his father had called and told him, “Mommy is dead; something bad is going to happen to her.” The report states the son then hung up the phone and “started crying because he doesn’t want anything to happen to his mother.” The son told his mother not to go outside.
Weiss was initially charged with “threats to do bodily harm,” which since has been dropped to a charge of “attempted threats to do bodily harm.”
Weiss is no stranger to these kind of charges. Court records show he was charged last year with “simple assault” for allegedly hitting Glover in the face at their son’s 10th birthday party. The case was disposed.
Glover, a one-time aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, declined to comment. Weiss’ lawyer for the case resulting from the July 16 incident, Steven Kupferberg, told us the charges “don’t accurately describe what happened. It’s totally made up.”
