December 6, 2017

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (December 7, 2017) — Lightfoot, Franklin & White LLC partner Jack Sharman appeared on two MSNBC programs this week to discuss the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into possible Russian influence on the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Sharman was the former special counsel to the House Banking Committee during its Whitewater investigation of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.

He was a guest on the “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams” on Monday to discuss whether President Donald Trump is immune to obstruction of justice charges and if impeachment is a foreseeable possibility. This was Sharman’s third time appearing on the program.
