MSNBCWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh’s medical records were properly seized by investigators seeking information on alleged illegal drug use, an appeals court ruled Wednesday.
Investigators raided the offices of Limbaugh’s doctors seeking information on whether the conservative radio commentator illegally tried to buy prescription painkillers. Limbaugh, 53, has not been charged with a crime and the investigation had been at a standstill pending a decision on the medical records.
“We hold that the constitutional right of privacy in medical records is not implicated by the State’s seizure and review of medical records under a valid search warrant without prior notice or hearing,” the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled.
A spokesman for Limbaugh did not have any immediate comment.
