WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the investigations into potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia (all times EDT):

6:20 p.m.

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law is turning to a prominent defense lawyer, Abbe Lowell, to represent him in Russia-related investigations.

Jared Kushner’s lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, says that Lowell has been added to the team representing Kushner.

Gorelick’s law firm, WilmerHale, is involved in the Russia investigation in multiple ways. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller left the firm last month to serve as special counsel overseeing an investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. He took several partners with him.
