The presidents former press secretary has tapped Chris Mead, a high-powered criminal defense attorney based, to handle issues related to the special counsel Robert Muellers probe, The Daily Beast has learned.
According to his bio page at the firm London & Mead, Mead specializes in white collar criminal defense and Congressional investigations, as well as issues related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Acta law that bars Americans from bribing foreign government officials. His law firm bio also boasts that he gained extensive experience in money laundering prosecutions when he was a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland.
Spicer will need legal help for the probe. Axios reported last week that he took detailed notes throughout the presidential campaign, which may be of great interest and use to Mueller and his team of investigators.
Neither Spicer nor Mead responded to multiple requests for comment.
Nina Ginsberg, a founding partner of DiMuro Ginsberg PC and longtime criminal defense attorney, told The Daily Beast Mead is well-suited for his role.
