President Donald Trump’s former chief of staff Reince Priebus and White House counsel Don McGahn have reportedly hired a lawyer amid the investigation into Russian election meddling, The Hill reports.
Priebus and McGahn hired the same attorney, William Burck, a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP, Law360 reported.
According to several news reports during last week, special counsel Robert Mueller told the White House his team will seek to interview six senior and former aides to Trump as part of the federal investigation into the Russian election meddling and possible Trump campaign involvement.
Those aides include Priebus and McGahn, in addition to former White House press secretary Sean Spicer and Trump’s adviser and interim communications director Hope Hicks. According to Law360, McGahn will reportedly be questioned about Trump’s firing earlier this year of FBI Director James Comey.
Priebus will be asked about any details he knows surrounding Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting last June with a Russian lawyer, Law360 adds.
