Before William Barr became attorney general, Trump liked to ask “Where’s my Roy Cohn?”—referring to Trump’s early mentor, who had once been a chief counsel for Senator Joseph McCarthy’s anti-communist witch-hunt and was later a lawyer and political fixer in New York whose clients included mob bosses—as well as the real-estate developer who is now America’s president. Now, said Stephen Gillers, an NYU law professor and an expert on legal ethics, “He’s got his Roy Cohn—only a much more polished, presentable, and establishment version.”
