President Donald Trump’s outside legal defense team received bad news last week after a deal that they had reached with former South Carolina Republican Representative Trey Gowdy fell through due to lobbying rules.
The move, which was revealed on Tuesday, fell apart the next day “with lobbying rules prohibiting Mr. Gowdy from starting until January, possibly after the inquiry is over,” The New York Times reported on Sunday night. “Now, according to two people familiar with events, Mr. Gowdy is never expected to join the team. And Trump advisers are back to square one, searching for a different lawyer.”
