President Donald Trump hired an attorney who represented President Bill Clinton during his impeachment process as the White House shifted to a more aggressive approach to a special counsel investigation that has reached a critical stage. The White House announced Wednesday the hiring of Emmet Flood after disclosing the retirement of Ty Cobb, who for months has been the administration’s point person dealing with special counsel Robert Mueller. It’s the latest shakeup for a legal team grappling with unresolved questions about how to protect the president from legal and political jeopardy in the probe into potential collusion with Russia, which is nearing the one-year mark.
