FOX Business has confirmed that Karina Lynch, longtime legislative and regulatory attorney with the Washington, D.C. law firm Williams & Jensen PLLC, joined Trump Jr.’s legal team last week, just days ahead of his planned testimony before the Judiciary Committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Lynch had an immediate impact: She helped negotiate Trump Jr. a private interview in front of the committee instead of a public testimony, FOX Business has learned.
Trump’s lead attorney, Alan Futerfas, confirmed Lynch was brought on board last week. When asked why they chose to recruit her, he said she’s “wonderful” and has “a lot of Washington, D.C. experience.” Lynch also confirmed she would be joining the team in an email to FOX Business.
Indeed, prior to working with Williams & Jensen, Lynch spent five years on Capitol Hill where she served as counsel to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, under the chairmanship of Susan M. Collins, R-Maine.
Prior to her work with Collins, she served as investigative counsel to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who now chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee.
