CNN guest mocks Trump's legal team troubles: Lawyers are willing to work for Big Tobacco -- but not him

According to a former member of the independent counsel that investigated the Monica Lewinsky scandal, conservative lawyers who refuse to work for the president due to alleged conflicts of interest should be taken at their word.


Solomon Wisenberg, who now practices white collar law in Washington, D.C., noted to CNN's Brooke Baldwin that lawyer Tom Buchanan, one of the two most recent attorneys to refuse President Donald Trump, is "very conservative" and the younger brother of infamous right-winger Pat Buchanan.

Buchanan, along with fellow Trump denier Dan Webb, works at Winston & Strawn — a firm that "represented tobacco interests for years and didn't think twice about it," Wisenberg pointed out. 

"I don't think they'd have any problem representing the president," he said.
