President Trump’s legal team is seeking ways to curtail an interview with the special counsel. President Trump railed against special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation on March 18, prompting a swift response from lawmakers. “We have very constructive, productive communications with the special counsel and his colleagues,” he said in an interview Friday. DiGenova, whose addition to Trump’s legal team was first reported by the New York Times, declined to comment on the role he will play. Toensing represents Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for Trump’s legal team.
