The Ex-Trump Aides Who Recently Hired Private Lawyers

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) confirmed that presidential security officials at the center of an explosive allegation about Donald Trump’s demand to go to the Capitol on Jan. 6 have retained private counsel, CNBC reports.

She said the officials were Tony Ornato, Robert Engel and another agent.

Said Lofgren: “Some of the officers said that they would be coming and talking under oath. They have not come in, and they recently retained private counsel, which is unusual, but they have a right to do that.”
