In the latest indication that the White House is taking a more combative stance toward Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, President Donald Trump has decided to add Washington lawyer Joseph diGenova to his legal team. DiGenova and his wife, Victoria Toensing, have a long history of engaging in legal work and commentary that advance right-wing causes, and both have been outspoken critics of federal law enforcement officials’ handling of investigations into Hillary Clinton and into Trump associates’ ties to Russia. The New York Times reported on Monday that Trump is hiring diGenova to add “a more aggressive player” to his legal team.
