Goldberg, who represented Trump in the ’90s and 2000s, says Trump reached out to him for advice last week and the two men spoke by phone on Friday, a call confirmed by the White House. During the conversation, Trump’s trusted legal adviser gave the president some sobering advice. The Journal reports:
