President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has hired Jon Sale, a former assistant Watergate prosecutor, to represent him in the congressional investigations into Trump’s contacts with Ukraine.
Sale confirmed in an email to The Hill on Tuesday that he is representing Giuliani, who was subpoenaed a day earlier for a slew of documents and communications related to his efforts to get Ukraine to investigate unsubstantiated allegations about former Vice President Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate, and his family.
Sale served as an assistant Watergate prosecutor under special prosecutors Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski.
Sale was involved in litigation to obtain secret tapes from former President Nixon’s White House to determine whether officials engaged in criminal conduct in the Oval Office, according to his biography on the website of his current practice, Nelson Mullins, based in Miami, Fla. Sale currently co-chairs the firm’s white collar and government investigations practice group.
