Longtime Donald Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen has brought in an outspoken critic of the president -- a former special counsel for Bill Clinton -- to help respond to a federal probe of his businesses and finances.

Lawyer and crisis manager Lanny Davis confirmed Thursday that he’s representing Cohen. Davis is the author of “The Unmaking of the President 2016,” in which he questions the legitimacy of Trump’s election and raises the possibility of removing Trump from office for “mental impairment.”
