New York City Mayor Eric Adams has retained a semi-obscure MAGA lawyer named Bill Burck to lead his defense team as he faces five major federal felonies. Burck’s greatest hits include helping former Trump White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus, Trump White House Counsel Don McGahn, and Trump White House Smelly Alcoholic Nazi Steve Bannon squirm out of being interviewed during Robert Mueller’s investigation. In 2021 Business Insider reported that Burck had the balls to demand the DOJ reimburse the fees Bannon owed him for the repeated interviews with Mueller’s team.
Burck would not be the first of Team Trump’s former defense lawyers to freelance for a Dem facing federal charges as in 2022 First Son and irresponsible crackhead-turned-painter Hunter Biden retained Abbe Lowell, who had previously represented the far more successful presidential influence peddler Jared Kushner. Then again Lowell had also repped former President Bill Clinton, and former Senators John Edwards and Bob Menendez (the 2015 trial when Bob walked), so you might actually say his Kushner work was more the exception than the rule as far as Lowell’s clientele goes.
