Former White House attorney Ty Cobb: ‘Big Lie has been good only for Trump’

Ty Cobb is no stranger to former President Donald Trump. An accomplished attorney with a signature handlebar mustache, Cobb served in the Trump White House from 2017-2018, where he led the internal response to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Cobb proved to be an influential adviser during his stint. He spent many hours with Trump in the Oval Office and dined with him in the West Wing. In one respect, he succeeded where other aides failed: Cobb favored a generally cooperative posture and, for a time, the president even cut back on his tweets about Mueller’s “witch hunt.”

A few weeks before Cobb left, Trump tweeted: “I have full confidence in Ty Cobb, my Special Counsel, and have been fully advised throughout each phase of this process.”
