Najib lawyers up with top US attorneys


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has armed himself with a team of top American lawyers, possibly due to concern that the global probe into 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) could soon implicate him, now that he's no longer prime minister.

Ashcroft Law Firm, headed by former United States Attorney General John Ashcroft, has registered Najib as a client on the US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) register.
