John Dowd, President Trump's Old Lawyer, Is Still Whispering in His Ear
That’s according to Dowd himself, and confirmed to The Daily Beast by the president’s current lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

John Dowd, who previously helmed President Donald Trump’s personal legal team, is still actively advising his lawyers as they grapple with the Mueller probe.
Dowd, who left the president’s legal team in March of 2018, told Brian Kilmeade on his Fox News radio show on Jan. 14 that he speaks with Trump “every week or so.”
Dowd declined to tell The Daily Beast more about his interactions with Trump and his lawyers. But Rudy Giuliani, now a member of the team, said Dowd privately consults with Trump himself and his lawyers.
Giuliani said that in several conversations with his lawyers about the Mueller probe, Trump has asked, “What does John [Dowd] think?” All the instances came long after Dowd’s departure from the team, Giuliani added.
