US Vice President Mike Pence has hired a personal lawyer to deal with requests from the special counsel investigating possible collusion with Russian Federation during the 2016 election, a top aide said Thursday.
Pence hired Richard Cullen, chairman of law firm McGuireWoods, to help him respond to inquiries from special counsel Robert Mueller, a spokesman said.
Vice President Mike Pence noted the presence of 85,000 gang members in those three countries, which make up Central America's so-called "Northern Triangle", and said their activities "radiate outward and reach the United States" while most US -bound drugs flow through Central America.
Mr. Trump has retained his own private legal counsel, as Mueller goes forward with the "witch hunt" Russian Federation probe, as the president has called it.

Indeed, it is only by virtue of Falcinelli’s prowess in the final third that Crotone still remains in contention to survive. In Romelu Lukaku, Koeman has a player with the capability of firing Everton to far headier heights than seventh place.
"The vice president is focused entirely on his duties. and looks forward to a swift conclusion of this matter", Agen said.
Pence's decision comes despite Trump's personal attorney Marc Kasowitz's reported assurance to White House personnel that it's not necessary to hire their own lawyers. Other funds include Trump-Pence re-election committee or Republican National Committee funds.
Officially, Mueller is a "special adviser" to the Ministry of Justice, but by tradition, he is usually called a special counsel.
Trump lashed out at the Post in a Thursday tweet, calling the report "phony.". As The New York Times reports, he worked as a staff member in the office of the late M. Caldwell Butler, a Republican congressman, during Watergate, and was also special counsel to Senator Paul S. Tribble Jr.
Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats spent more than three hours in a closed session with the Senate Intelligence Committee, just days after he refused to answer lawmakers' questions in an open session about his conversations with Trump regarding the Russian Federation investigation. Every time his opponent, vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine, brought up a statement by Trump-a public, documented statement, the veracity of which Americans could easily validate-Pence did not embellish. Everything Trump says now, Bob Mueller will use against him.
