MSNBC is reporting that Pence has lawyered-up by retaining personal outside counsel. More details below:
Vice President Mike Pence’s office on Thursday confirmed that Pence has retained outside counsel to guide him through the congressional and federal investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I can confirm that the Vice President has retained Richard Cullen of McGuire Woods to assist him in responding to inquiries by the special counsel,” Pence’s communications director Jarrod Agen told the Washington Post by email.
Agen said Pence “looks forward to a swift conclusion of this matter.”
The White House did not immediately respond to TPM’s request for comment.
The Washington Post reported, citing an unnamed aide, that it took several weeks for Pence to hire Cullen and several candidates were interviewed for the job.
