Ex-Obama Lawyer Who Worked With Manafort On Ukraine Project Abruptly Leaves Law Firm

Greg Craig, the White House counsel for President Barack Obama, abruptly left his law firm as it has come under scrutiny from the special counsel's investigation.

A spokeswoman for Skadden Arps confirmed to The Daily Caller News Foundation that Craig is no longer with the firm.

The website Above the Law first reported on Tuesday that Craig's biography had been removed from Skadden Arps' website.

Skadden Arps has come under scrutiny because of its work with Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman, on behalf of the Ukrainian government in 2012.

Neither Craig nor Skadden Arps registered as foreign agents for the work.

Van der Zwaan, who worked closely with Craig on the Ukraine project, claimed that he lied to investigators because he did not want to reveal that he had secretly recorded conversations with Gates and a Skadden Arps law partner.

Van der Zwaan was fired by Skadden Arps in November, shortly after he was first interviewed by Mueller's team.
