An Epstein Becker & Green partner in Washington is joining the legal team defending Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman charged with money laundering and other offenses arising from the special counsel’s Russia investigation.

Richard W. Westling, a litigation and health care partner in the firm’s Washington and Nashville offices, filed a notice of appearance Wednesday evening in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Westling joined Epstein Becker in June from Waller Lansden Dortch and Davis, where he was a partner.
