John Dowd—onetime lawyer to President Donald Trump and a former partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld—is back in the news as counsel to Giuliani associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.
Last week, Dowd informed House Intelligence Committee Investigation Counsel Nicolas Mitchell that the committee’s request for information from his clients in connection with the Ukraine matter is “overly broad and unduly burdensome,” that seven days isn’t enough time to produce the materials, and that the information may be covered by attorney-client privilege.
