Trump says many lawyers and top law firms want to represent him in Russia case

Donald Trump suggested on Sunday that he was not about to hire a new lawyer to represent him in “the Russia case” following a shake-up of his legal team. “Don’t believe the Fake News narrative that it is hard to find a lawyer who wants to take this on,” the president cautioned. Attorney John Dowd quit Trump’s legal team on Thursday, days after what appeared to be the hiring of Joseph DiGenova, a cable news commentator and former US attorney who has claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US election is an attempt to frame the president, carried out by the FBI and the Department of Justice.
