John Dowd

The White House legal team reportedly torpedoed the meeting after hearing the planned scope of the interview.

Trump allegedly went "ballistic" and was "not under control" during the practice interview.

"Imagine your lawyer telling you 'you're disabled' and you can't testify because you can't tell the truth. You just make things up," Woodward said.

A new excerpt from the book obtained Wednesday by The Atlantic showed that numerous questions posed to the president by Dowd pertained to Flynn's conversations with a former Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has a long list of questions he wants to ask President Donald Trump.

Ty Cobb had a security clearance but is set to leave his post at the end of May.

"The law firm of Larry, Mo and Curly, and of counsel Rudy, can't actually find out what the truth is," Scarborough said of Trump's legal team.

John Dowd resigned from Trump's legal team last week.

An international law firm says "business conflicts" prevent two top lawyers from representing the president in the Russia investigation.

Earlier this week, the president hired Joseph diGenova to join the team.

The power player lawyer disagreed with the president over one key part of the special counsel's investigation.

The president's lawyers are concerned he could face charges of lying to special counsel.

Cobb also echoed the call by Jay Sekulow and others for a second special counsel.

John Dowd has claimed responsibility for a Trump tweet some say implies obstruction of justice.

Many view the tweet as an admission that Trump was aware Flynn had lied to federal agents when he fired him.

John Dowd's claim he wrote the post on Trump's Twitter page "makes no sense," say legal experts.
