Donald Trump urged to hire experienced outside counsel for Russia probe by White House aides

Donald Trump has reportedly been advised to hire an experienced outside lawyer as the controversy over his alleged links to Moscow continues to grow and reverberate.
Following the news that the Department of Justice had appointed a special counsel, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, to lead a probe into the alleged connections, the president has been told he may benefit from retained additional lawyers to those whose services he has already made use of.
Advisers and personal associates of Mr Trump have been increasingly concerned since details have emerged of conversations he had with James Comey, the FBI Director, in which he purportedly asked for Mr Comey’s loyalty and suggested he drop an ongoing investigation into his former national security advisor, Michael Flynn.
