“… But the younger Mukasey, a partner at Rudy Giuliani's law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, would run only if the former mayor opts out of the race, the sources said.”

“…Mukasey …one of two lawyers representing Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and the Trump Foundation in responding to the civil lawsuit filed by the New York State Attorney General's Office alleging wrongdoing by the foundation. …”
“… While at Greenberg Traurig, Mukasey had been involved, peripherally, in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, representing Joel Zamel of Psy-Group. Zamel had attended a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. at Trump Tower …”

“Marc #Mukasey, a lawyer for Zamel, said his client ‘offered nothing to the Trump campaign, received nothing from the Trump campaign, delivered nothing to the Trump campaign and was not solicited by, or asked to do anything for, the Trump campaign.’ …”
