Trump's Legal Team for Russia Probe Reportedly in Disarray
----------------------------------------------------------

Multiple outlets are reporting Trump's legal team dealing with the
Russia investigation is in disarray, after it was announced that two new
lawyers-Victoria Toensing and Joe di Genova-will not join his legal
team, only days after their appointment was announced. Di Genova is a
former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia who has claimed Trump
is being framed by FBI and Justice Department officials. Last Thursday,
Trump's top lawyer, John Dowd, quit the legal team, reportedly resigning
after Trump repeatedly ignored his legal advice and attacked Robert
Mueller by name on Twitter.
