Wall Street Journal рассказывает о том, что в июне адвокаты Трампа, нанятые для борьбы с Рашагейтом, советовали отправить Кушнера в отставку, от греха подальше.
Some of President Donald Trump’s lawyers earlier this summer concluded that Jared Kushner should step down as senior White House adviser because of possible legal complications related to a probe of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election and aired concerns about him to the president, people familiar with the matter said.

Своими адвокатами ныне обзовелись почти все работники администрации. Среди последних - Хоуп Хикс, близкая сотрудница и пресс-секретарь Трампа, ныне директор коммуникаций.
White House communications director Hope Hicks has retained a personal attorney, as the special counsel's investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia is expected to heat up this fall.
Hicks, 28, has hired Robert Trout, a highly regarded attorney and founder of the firm Trout Cacheris & Janis, according to multiple sources familiar with the hire. Trout is a veteran of the Justice Department. He is also a former assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore.

Ринс Прибус и Дон Макган почему-то решили нанять одного адвоката на двоих.
Former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and White House Counsel Donald McGahn have hired Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP partner William Burck to advise them in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Law360 has learned. McGahn and Priebus have both recently hired Burck, the co-chair of Quinn Emanuel’s white collar practice, according to a person familiar with the hiring, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive White House discussions.

Поводом для этой адвокатской активности считается расследование Мюллером обстоятельств попыток помешать правосудию, но у расследования могут быть и другие цели.
