Trump lawyers up some more - Shakes his head - and remember watch the video clip in the article
WASHINGTON � President Donald Trump is adding to his growing roster of lawyers handling investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election, NBC News confirmed Friday.
Veteran Washington lawyer Ty Cobb is the latest to join the president's legal team, a White House official said. Cobb will spearhead responses to media inquiries related to the ongoing Russia probes and he will work closely with attorney Marc Kasowitz, who is leading the Trump team.
After reports this week revealed Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., held a meeting during the campaign with a Russian lawyer with the expectation of receiving damaging information about Hillary Clinton, lawyer Alan Futerfas was brought on to represent him.
Others have lawyered up, too, including White House Senior Adviser and son-in-law to the president, Jared Kushner, Vice President Mike Pence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort.
The National Law Journal reported Friday that Jamie Gorelick will no longer represent Kushner in the Russia investigation and that Abbe Lowell, a prominent criminal defense lawyer, will be Kushner's main counsel on those matters.
"Of course I am still part of Jared Kushner’s legal team," Gorelick said in a statement. "As we have stated, once Bob Mueller and three of our partners left the firm to form the Special Counsel's Office, we advised Jared to get independent legal advice on whether to continue with us as counsel. As a result of this process, Jared decided that Abbe would represent him in the Russia-related inquiries. We are currently helping Abbe’s team."
Actually didn’t one of Trumps’s other lawyers threaten someone just the other day with I know where you live bitch. What one was that again was that the lawyer who had lawyered up?
So who picks up the tab for this veritable army of lawyers – is it the Kremlin?
