The husband and wife legal team of Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing will not be joining President Donald Trump’s personal legal team representing him in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation after a determination that their firm’s existing work presents a conflict.
“The President is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing from joining the President’s Special Counsel legal team,” Jay Sekulow, counsel to the president, said in a statement. “However, those conflicts do not prevent them from assisting the President in other legal matters. The President looks forward to working with them.”
