The legal team with which 45 is so infamously infatuated has a new member, Andrew Ekonomou, who is a “little-known former prosecutor with a doctorate in medieval history” and author of (I shit you not) Byzantine Rome and the Greek Popes: Eastern Influences on Rome and the Papacy from Gregory the Great to Zacharias, A.D. 590-752 (Roman Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches).
Ekonomou said he has been working with Sekulow on the Mueller probe since June…
While Ekonomou has also worked on criminal matters, he has not handled cases as high-profile and complex as the Mueller probe.
In an interview, Ekonomou told Reuters that he “prosecutes a lot of murders for the D.A.”
When asked about his biggest cases of late, Ekonomou said, “That’s basically it. Nothing earthshaking.”
Ekonomou said he is up to the task of defending Trump, saying he has practiced law for more than four decades.
“I’ve been tested plenty of times,” Ekonomou said. “Just because you’re not a Beltway lawyer doesn’t mean you don’t know what you’re doing.”
Can I get a Bwahahaha?
