Kirby Behre commented on President Trump's need for private counsel as the FBI and Congress investigate potential connections between his campaign and Russian officials. "The president is in dire need of a criminal defense lawyer and a congressional investigations lawyer immediately," Behre said, adding that an experienced adviser would begin by explaining the legal consequences of President Trump's freewheeling statements and tweets.

Mr. Behre's comments were also included in coverage by the Daily Mail and Japan Today, among other publications.
