Jared Kushner is not taking any chances as he prepares for Special Counsel Bob Mueller's probes into the Trump's campaign possible ties with Russia. Kushner has added one of the country's most prominent criminal defense lawyers, Abbe Lowell, to his legal team. "When Bob Mueller left WilmerHale to become Special Counsel and three of our colleagues joined him, we asked Mr. Kushner to get independent legal advice on whether to continue with us as his counsel. He engaged Abbe Lowell to advise him and then decided to add Mr. Lowell to the team representing him in the various inquiries into the Russia matter," a Monday statement from Gorelick said.
