US MP Matt Gaetz is a lawyer. The Florida Republican, allegedly under investigation in the DOJ for possible child trafficking and a possible sexual relationship with a 17-year-old, has hired two criminal defense attorneys, including one closely linked to Donald Trump and the former president’s former attorney. Rudy Giuliani and one who represented a senior Democrat, according to NBC News’ Garrett Haake.
Isabelle Kirshner represented former New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman, who was accused of physically abusing women with whom he was romantically or sexually involved.
Marc Mukasey has represented Trump for several years and still is, according to a report by Yahoo News this week.
Mukasey is the son of Michael Mukasey, the well-known former federal attorney and US Attorney General Bush 43. A 2019 Yahoo News report by Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen calls Marc Mukasey “the lawyer at the center of the Trump universe” and says he has “longstanding professional and personal relationships with Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani”.
“Marc Mukasey grew up with Giuliani during the holidays and was something of an extended family member of the former New York mayor, who is also one of the president’s closest confidants,” the reports read. “Mukasey told Yahoo News that he sees himself as an ‘ambulance’ for clients on trial.”

Mukasey has “represented a rogue gallery of customers linked to notorious scandals,” including “a top aide to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during the” Bridgegate “scandal. Mukasey also secured a non-law enforcement agreement for a doctor who leaked confidential information to a hedge fund as part of what the New York Times called “the greatest insider trading system ever,” and he represented Halliburton, which was signed by BP – prior to the catastrophic oil spill to work there on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. “
However, one of Mukasey’s most notorious clients is the former Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher who was charged with ten crimes, including allegedly killing a 17-year-old ISIS prisoner who was sedated and then posed with his body.
In addition to Trump’s attorney Marc Mukasey, who represented Gallagher, Trump personally and very publicly intervened in the court case and tweeted his support for the Navy SEAL.
Gaetz has not been charged with any crime and denies all allegations.
NBC News reports that “a spokeswoman working for Gaetz outside his convention bureau, Erin Elmore of the Logan Circle Group, hired lawyers Friday to fight the whirlwind of allegations.”
“Matt has always been a fighter,” Elmore told NBC News. “A fighter for its constituents, a fighter for the country and a fighter for the constitution. He will defend himself against the unfounded allegations against him. His legal team, led by Marc Mukasey and Isabelle Kirshner, will fight those who try to smear his name with untruths. “
