Eric Rucker, the former chief of staff for Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, faces a complaint from Kansas’ disciplinary administrator for his involvement in an alleged scheme to identify clients who sought services at a Wichita abortion clinic run by the late George Tiller.

A similar ethics complaint is pending against Steven D. Maxwell, another former Kline deputy.

A 15-page complaint alleges that Rucker claimed, before the Kansas Supreme Court, that he knew nothing about efforts to identify clients of Tiller’s now-closed Women’s Health Care Services by cross-referencing redacted records against a guest list from a nearby La Quinta Inn where Tiller’s patients often stayed.
