Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump insisted Sunday there was no shortage of lawyers willing to help him fight a collusion investigation as two more attorneys decided against joining his defense team.
Days after the resignation of John Dowd as Trump's lead attorney in the handling of allegations of collusion with Russia, US media reported that Joe diGenova and his wife and colleague Victoria Toensig had reversed a decision to come on board.
"The President is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing from joining his Special Counsel legal team," Jay Sekulow, another of Trump's lawyers, was quoted as saying in a statement.
The White House had announced last week that DiGenova -- who is a familiar figure on US news networks -- had been hired to bolster the legal team tasked with responding to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into last the 2016 US election.

P
Joe and Victoria are representing the whistle blower who recently testified on Uranium One
Conflict of interest
Conflicts of interest are no big deal for democrats
Don’t they have a pending case with the anonymous guy on Hannity that Sarah Carter and that John fellow from the Hill have been reporting on?
I cannot keep up, so much has happened, but it was in regards to dirty Gov’t in my recollection. It would be a conflict of interest I think.
So true, just ask Rod Rosenstein about his very busy wife.
“Joe and Victoria are representing the whistle blower who recently testified on Uranium One

Thanks..I was wondering if that was it.
William Campbell went undercover for the FBI in Uranium One. He has dirt on the FBI and perhaps others. He has testified to Congress and perhaps other legal bodies. Campbell is represented by the Toensing-Digenova law firm.
They put their client in danger and themselves in ethical jeopardy joining Trump on Russia. And they themselves would become too big a part of the story with their numerous past pronouncements.
Trump has not called me yet. I’d happily assist him.
Stop lying Yahoo. They didn’t decline anything. They have a conflict of interest & are thus unable to join the team.
This article is the quintessence of fake news. There was no effort to explain the “why” of the Di Genova Toensing refusal which was based on legal ethics.
Joe and Victoria are very ethical
...Joe and Victoria are very ethical..
Never said they weren’t.
Agreed
