Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, is expected to join the president’s private legal team representing him in the Russia investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Mr. Giuliani is expected to join the team “immediately,” the person said. Currently, Jay Sekulow is the primary lawyer on the team after its lead lawyer, John Dowd, resigned last month.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether Trump associates colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election and possibly engaged in obstruction of justice. Mr. Trump has denied the charges and has pushed for the conclusion of the probe, which he has termed a “witch hunt.” Russia has denied election meddling.
