A company tied to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian caterer nicknamed “Putin’s chef” because of his close ties to President Vladimir Putin, has hired a lawyer to defend against U.S. charges that it helped fund efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

Concord Management and Consulting LLC hired Washington lawyers Eric Dubelier and Katherine Seikaly, according to court filings in the case, which was brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
