Jamie Gorelick said Friday that she remains part of the legal team of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and will continue to help Lowell. She says while she’ll be helping Kushner on questions of ethics compliance and the security clearance process, Lowell will be handling Russia investigations. Congressional committees and Special Counsel Robert Mueller are investigating potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller previously work at the same law firm as Gorelick and took three partners with him to join his team. Once that happened, Gorelick says she advised Kushner to get independent legal advice on whether he wanted to stay with her and her team. © 2017 Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC Continue reading by subscribing to BostonGlobe.com for just 99¢.
