After a tumultuous week in the fast-moving inquiry, Jared Kushner's top lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, also announced plans to remove herself from matters related to the Russian Federation investigation that are engulfing her client, Trump's son-in-law and a West Wing adviser.
Sekulow reiterated Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that Trump did not know about the meeting, saying: "The President was not engaged in this, was not aware of it". This president lacks any sense of decency and self-awareness.

"I don't believe so", White House press secretary Sean Spicer said when asked if special White House counsel Ty Cobb signed off on the Monday morning tweet, in which Trump said "Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent".
Federal special counsel Robert Mueller and several congressional panels are investigating those allegations.
The U.S. intelligence community alleged that Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential race past year and there were connections between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.
