Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, has hired New York lawyer Alan Futerfas to represent him in connection with Russia-related investigations, the lawyer and Trump Jr.'s office said on Monday.

Futerfas, a sole practitioner who specializes in criminal defense, would not say when he was retained or whether he had any input into the statements Trump Jr. made over the weekend about a meeting with a Russian lawyer.

Trump Jr.'s actions during his father's presidential campaign have come under scrutiny following a New York Times report on Saturday that he, along with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, met with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in New York.

In a follow-up report on Sunday, the Times reported that Trump Jr. agreed to the meeting after being promised damaging information about Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
