King & Spalding partner Bobby Burchfield, named earlier this year to serve as the Trump Organization’s top ethics counsel, and former Hogan Lovells partner Ty Cobb, who joined the White House this summer as a member of the president’s legal defense team in special counsel Robert Mueller III’s Russia investigation, both saw their names emerge in two eyebrow-raising reports this week.
On Thursday, the Fauquier Times of Warrenton, Virginia, reported that Burchfield’s wife had been arrested after having sex with an inmate at a local jail. Teresa Jo Burchfield, 53, was taken into custody on Tuesday by jailhouse guards after they reportedly found her in the backseat of a car in a parking lot adjacent to the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center.
