Article snippet: President Trump’s lawyers are clashing over how much to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller, The New York Times reported Sunday. A Times reporter overheard Trump’s lawyer, Ty Cobb, complaining at a D.C. steakhouse about his disagreements with White House counsel Donald McGahn about how to respond to Mueller’s requests in the investigation. McGahn privately yelled at Cobb for publicly speaking about the private investigation after the Times contacted the White House, according to the Times. Chief of staff MORE also reportedly rebuked Cobb. Cobb is allegedly pushing for the Trump administration to be open with Mueller in his investigation into Russian election interference, while McGahn is pushing for a more restrained approach that could let Trump later assert executive privilege. McGahn hired a lawyer last week as part of Mueller’s investigation and is likely to be questioned about Trump’s decision to fire former FBI director James Comey and how White House advisers crafted a statement about MORE Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 election.
