US Vice President Mike Pence has hired a lawyer to deal with requests from the special counsel investigating possible ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia.  

As Reuters reported, Pence hired chairman of law firm McGuireWoods, Richard Cullen, who is known for representing high profile clients.

US President Donald Trump also hired a lawyer last month. He denied any collusion with Russia, saying that the move was the latest action in a "phony story".
