Russell, 24, who continues to face questions from federal authorities, has added Manhattan-based attorney Joshua Dratel to her legal team, an attorney representing the widow in civil matters said.
Dratel once represented a Pakistani man living in New York who pleaded guilty to supporting Hezbollah by broadcasting the Islamic militant group’s TV channel to U.S. viewers. He also defended an Australian charged with being a soldier for the Taliban.
