Readers might be interested in an article published by Bloomberg today entitled “Trump’s Little-Known Lawyer on the Front Lines Against Mueller.” It details the background of Jane Raskin, a white-collar defense lawyer from Florida. Though she is less talked about than Giuliani, Raskin has been working as President Trump’s lawyer since April, shortly after John Dowd left the position. She has gone head-to-head with Special Counsel Mueller’s deputy, Jim Quarles, over permissible communications with President Trump, conducted much of the research behind Trump defense, and is the lead writer of a report meant to counter Mueller’s eventual findings. Interestingly the lawyer has personal ties to Mueller: “both lawyers were prosecutors in Boston early in their careers — Raskin tried organized crime and racketeering cases for the Justice Department while Mueller investigated financial fraud, terrorism and money laundering for the U.S. attorney’s office.”
