Jamie Gorelick said Friday she is no longer representing Jared Kushner on Russia-related inquiries. Instead, she said she is “completing the work” the president's son-in-law and senior adviser originally hired her to do before President Donald Trump took office: handling Kushner's ethics compliance, security clearance and other federal disclosures.

Abbe Lowell, whom Kushner added to his white-collar team on June 26, is now Kushner's primary defender in the multiple investigations into the Trump team's interactions with Russian officials.

“As you may recall, and as we have stated, once Bob Mueller and three of our partners left the firm to form the Special Counsel's Office [at the Department of Justice], we advised Mr. Kushner to get independent legal advice whether to continue with us as counsel,” Gorelick said in an email Friday. “As [a] result of this process, Abbe is now responsible for the Russia-related inquiries.”
