Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, a Republican who forged a lucrative second career as one of Washington’s most influential lobbyists after his retirement from Congress, is leaving Squire Patton Boggs, according to a statement from the firm.
Lott “will no longer continue as a part of the firm,” where he co-chaired the public policy practice, said the Monday night statement from Mark Ruehlmann, the lobbying and law firm’s chair and global chief executive officer.
