“President Trump is in discussions with a veteran Washington lawyer who represented Bill Clinton during the impeachment process about joining the White House to help deal with the special counsel inquiry,” the New York Times reports.
“The lawyer, Emmet Flood, met with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office this past week to discuss the possibility… No final decision has been made.”
Key detail: “Mr. Flood would not replace Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer who since last summer has taken the lead role in dealing with the special counsel, Robert Mueller. But Mr. Cobb has told friends for weeks that he views his position as temporary and does not expect to remain in the job for much longer.”
