Article snippet: Robert Mueller, a source close to Kasowitz and sources familiar with the Trump’s decision confirmed to ABC News. Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General FBI, was selected a week after his successor James Comey was fired by Trump, who later admitted he was thinking about the bureau's inquiry into the matter when he took action on Comey. Kasowitz has represented Trump "on a wide range of litigation matters for over 15 years" according to his biography on his law firm's webpage. The firm, Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP, publicizes a number of its partner's representations of the president on its website, including in the restructuring of business debt, defamation cases and the effort to keep Trump's divorce records sealed as he campaigned last year.

The White House has not yet responded to a request for comment. Link to the full article to read more
