Trump Digs In for a Fight with Mueller

The latest addition to President Trump’s legal team — former U.S. attorney Joe diGenova — reflects three White House realities, Mike Allen reports.

“The state of play: (1) The White House is digging in for a fight that looks to be longer and messier than officials had expected. (2) This is another example of the president responding to televised cues. Trump has spent most of his adult life in litigation, and obsesses about legal positioning in the same way that he is consumed by his press coverage. (3) It’s another pugilistic voice at the table, and suggests that this weekend’s attacks on Mueller won’t be the last.”
