Trump tries to recruit "star" GOP lawyer for Mueller probe - and gets humiliatingly rejected

Huih, who knew? No one with either self respect or reputation intact want's anything to do with the Marmalade Shart-Cannon.

A Washington Post report on Tuesday claimed that the Trump White House has been trying to recruit Theodore B. Olson, described as a “star” Republican lawyer, to help defend President Donald Trump in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

However, just hours after the report was published, it looks as though Olson has rejected the White House’s overtures.

Ted Boutrous — a partner at Olson’s law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher — sent out a tweet on Tuesday shooting down any notion that Olson would be leaving to work with the White House.

I can confirm that @gibsondunn and Theodore B. Olson will not be representing @realDonaldTrump
