Jared Kushner’s personal counsel, Jamie Gorelick, said Friday that she is no longer representing the president’s son-in-law and senior aide on Russia-related inquiries.
Abbe Lowell, an attorney at Gorelick’s firm, will take charge of Kushner’s legal team.
“As you may recall, and as we have stated, once Bob Mueller and three of our partners left the firm to form the Special Counsel’s Office [at the Department of Justice], we advised Mr. Kushner to get independent legal advice whether to continue with us as counsel,” Gorelick told the National Law Journal. “As [a] result of this process, Abbe is now responsible for the Russia-related inquiries.”
Bob Mueller practiced at Gorelick’s firm, WilmerHale, before he was tapped by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to serve as special counsel for the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

There were quite a few people who said they saw a missle moving toward the airplane. Yes she was on that committee.
I assumed when Jared Kushner hire her that he was a crook.
I still do. He could have hired any other lawyer but choose her. I think he is using shady deals to get rich.
His father in law should be careful.
