Trump's Lawyers Demand Special Counsel to Probe Russia Special Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, lawyers for President Trump are pressing the Justice
Department to appoint a second special counsel-one to investigate Robert
Mueller, the special counsel probing alleged ties between President
Trump's campaign and Russia. Speaking with the website Axios on Monday,
Trump's personal attorney Jay Sekulow accused Mueller's team of holding
conflicts of interest, saying, "These new revelations require the
appointment of a special counsel to investigate."
