First son Donald Trump Jr. retained an attorney on Monday as fallout continued from his admission that he met with a Russian lawyer last summer who promised to dig up dirt on his father's then-rival Hillary Clinton. Trump Jr. is being represented by Alan Futerfas, according to Reuters.

His website brags he's got 25 years of "litigation experience representing individuals and companies in traditional and white collar cases, trials and appeals, SEC investigations and regulatory matters," even successfully arguing an appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court. Futerfas's clients have included hedge funds and private equity principals.
But a Google search of Futerfas's name also turns up a number of articles about his work on mob-linked cases.
The attorney was involved in court proceedings involving members of the Colombo crime family, which is one of the so-called Five Families that have been prominent in New York for decades. According to The New Yorker, Futerfas famously learned that hitman Gregory Scarpa was secretly informing FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio—and therefore had purposefully worked "to create and further a divisive conflict which would enable the FBI, to make, it hoped, dozens of arrests and convictions," as Futerfas alleged in a 1994 appeal.
