Jack Sharman Quoted by Major News Outlets About Trump-Russia Investigation

August 23, 2017

Lightfoot, Franklin & White LLC partner Jack Sharman has been featured by several media outlets for his insight into the investigation into possible Russian influence on the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and any potential role the Trump campaign may have played.

As Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into President Donald Trump’s election campaign has continued, national news organizations have turned to Sharman for his perspective. Sharman was the former special counsel to the House Banking Committee during its Whitewater investigation of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.

In 2016, Sharman was appointed as special counsel to the Alabama House Judiciary Committee for the impeachment investigation of former Alabama Governor Robert Bentley. He released his report in April 2017.
