President Trump plans to retain Marc Kasowitz as his personal attorney to represent him in the federal investigation into his campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, according to media reports.
Fox Business and ABC News reported that Trump is expected to bring aboard the New York-based lawyer, who has represented Trump numerous times in the past.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hiring Kasowitz would be a major step for Trump, who has been advised to seek outside legal counsel in the sprawling investigation into whether his associates colluded with Moscow to interfere in the 2016 election.
