Overview
Ty Cobb served as White House Special Counsel handling the Russia investigation response from July 2017 to May 2018. A former federal prosecutor known for his distinctive mustache, Cobb served as liaison between the Mueller team and the White House, overseeing document production and witness interviews. He advocated for full cooperation with Mueller and convinced Trump to waive executive privilege claims. His cooperative approach prevented a constitutional crisis over subpoenas but frustrated Trump loyalists. He was replaced by Emmet Flood and joined Hogan Lovells.
