Lightfoot, Franklin & White LLC partner Jack Sharman was featured in a recent story by Reuters about the investigation into possible Russian influence on the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The article centers on the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to oversee the investigation into potential ties between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.

Reuters called on Sharman for his insight into the role of a special counsel for such an investigation. Earlier this year, Sharman was appointed as special counsel to the Alabama House Judiciary Committee for the impeachment investigation of former Alabama Governor Robert Bentley. Sharman also served as special counsel during a probe into the Whitewater real estate investments of President Bill Clinton in 1995.
