The City and County of Denver has retained outside legal counsel for up to $2 million just before Mayor Mike Johnston’s appearance next month before a congressional committee in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. House Committee on Government and Reform has asked Johnston to testify before the panel on March 5.
The City and County of Denver inked an agreement with the law firm Covington and Burling, LLP to represent the city in the upcoming congressional inquiry into so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions nationwide.
