President Donald Trump’s lead lawyer in the Russia investigation has left the legal team.
Dowd says he “loves the president” and wishes him well.
"I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier," John Dowd told NBC News.
Another Trump’s lawyer, Jay Sekulow, also is confirming Dowd’s departure.
The move comes several days after Trump added a new lawyer to his team — former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova.
