Former Sen. Joe Lieberman has gone from front runner to out of the running in President Trump's effort to fill the vacant FBI director's job, a senior White House official told Fox News on Wednesday. But things have changed, in part due to Trump's hiring of an attorney who works at the same firm as Lieberman. Lieberman is a partner of Kasowitz’s New York law firm, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres. With the FBI involved in the investigation, sources said installing Lieberman to head the bureau could present a potential conflict of interest. Kasowitz is not the first attorney from the law firm to serve Trump or his administration.
