Trump adds Washington lawyer John Dowd to his legal team
By Karen Freifeld
President Donald Trump has added a veteran Washington lawyer to the team representing him in the investigations of possible collusion by the Trump campaign with Russia, including the criminal probe being led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
John Dowd, who has represented key figures in a variety white-collar criminal matters and investigations, has joined the president's defense team led by New York lawyer Marc Kasowitz, Mark Corallo, a spokesman for the team, said on Friday.
Another well-known white-collar Washington lawyer will likely join the team shortly, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Dowd, 76, represented U.S. Senator John McCain on congressional ethics charges in the "Keating Five" banking scandal in the late 1980s and early 1990s. McCain was cleared in the matter.
