BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A former southwest Idaho prosecutor charged with bankruptcy fraud in federal court plans to represent himself.
John Bujak told the Idaho Statesman (https://bit.ly/OitmaS) on Thursday he knows the facts of the case better than the public defender.
On Wednesday, federal public defender Dick Rubin filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Boise to withdraw as Bujak’s attorney.

Bujak in January pleaded not guilty to bankruptcy fraud, concealment of assets, making a false statement under oath, money laundering and obstruction of justice.
The U.S. attorney’s office alleges Bujak did not disclose to the bankruptcy court that he and his then-wife owned a $25,000 Rolex watch and that it and a ring were sold to an out-of-state jeweler.
