Marc Kasowitz, who has been the lead lawyer defending President Trump in matter related to investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election, is taking a reduced role as part of a broader shakeup of Trump's legal team, according to reports Thursday.
CNN reported that Kasowitz, the president's longtime New York lawyer, will see his role reduced after he helped shape a larger legal team around Trump.
A veteran Washington defense lawyer, John Dowd, will now take the lead in representing Trump for the Russia inquiries, The New York Times reported Thursday.
Last week, Trump brought on attorney Ty Cobb to also join the legal team. He will start July 31 and help manage the team, with a focus on communications, CNN said.
Jay Sekulow is the third member of the team.
