Washington (CNN)Veteran Washington attorney Joseph diGenova's role as part of President Donald Trump's legal team is still in question, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
DiGenova's hiring was announced on Monday by Jay Sekulow, counsel to the President. DiGenova, along with his wife and law partner, Victoria Toensing, had a Thursday meeting with the President, the sources said. Even so, diGenova's role, as well as that of Toensing who is also in discussions about joining the team, are in flux. One source said no one has been officially hired.
The Thursday meeting was the first time the husband-and-wife legal team met with the President since the Monday announcement. One source said that while Trump liked their message, the President is not convinced they are right for the legal jobs.

A source familiar with the plans said on Monday that diGenova's role was to engage with the media and actively defend the President. But there is concern about conflicts for both diGenova and Toensing, according to two sources. The two run a small firm and there is a question if diGenova can reasonably claim a lack of conflict when his wife represents clients like Mark Corrallo, who has spoken to special counsel Robert Mueller's team about how the President and his team responded to the revelations regarding the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting that Donald Trump Jr. and other campaign officials had with a group of Russians.

...DiGenova and Toensing, are such nasty liars, I'm surprised they still have their law licenses. I suppose they could say anything on TV, but doing some of the unprofessional stuff should have gotten them in trouble with the law...
Someone who can bail him out of the treasonous, criminal mess he's made.
No way that's going to happen.
Anybody with "smarts", integrity and who cares about their reputation and career is NOT going to answer their phone when the poser-in-chief dials them up.
