Jeff Sessions Just Lawyered Up In Russia Case
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has lawyered up in the Russia investigation.
According to a new report by The National Law Journal, Sessions has hired Charles Cooper, a well-known Republican lawyer, to represent him in the Russia investigation.
Cooper was in attendance last week during Sessions’s testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
According to The National Law Journal, “Cooper is a natural choice from outside the Justice Department to counsel Sessions. The two have been close for decades. Cooper, a former head of Main Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel, has his own firm, Cooper & Kirk. Earlier in his career he was a partner at McGuireWoods and at Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge.”
The news the Sessions has hired a lawyer comes as several other high-profile members of the Trump administration have also retained counsel.
It was reported Monday that Jared Kushner has been actively looking for new attorneys with litigation experience in political corruption.
Vice President Mike Pence also confirmed he has hired a lawyer to represent him in the Russia investigation.
Donald Trump has also hired personal attorneys as the Russia investigation expands.
