ORLANDO, Fla. — A judge overseeing the case of the wife of the Florida nightclub shooter is contemplating sanctions against her attorneys. U.S. District Judge Paul Byron has scheduled a hearing Thursday during which he is asking Noor Salman’s attorneys to show why sanctions shouldn’t be imposed. The judge says in an order that the issue centres on what Salman’s attorneys disclosed about an expert witness. Charles Swift, Salman’s lead attorney, didn’t return a phone call, and an attorney for her lawyers said he couldn’t comment Tuesday. Forty-nine people were killed in June 2016 at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub.
