‘The Chaos Inside Trump’s Legal Team’

By on • ( Leave a comment )
Lawyers are used to defending difficult clients, but as with everything else, Donald Trump stands alone. For starters, there’s the number of cases he’s dealing with: criminal charges in Manhattan, E. Jean Carroll’s ongoing defamation claims, a civil lawsuit against the Trump Organization from New York Attorney General Letitia James, and likely very soon, indictments in Georgia and D.C. That’s enough work to employ a small law firm, but evidently there isn’t one that will take him (or perhaps he’s too cheap). So instead Trump has hired a half-dozen lawyers, who say working for him is as messy as you would expect. They spoke candidly to Intelligencer contributor Ankush Khardori, who finds a level of dysfunction that would worry the former president, if he knew better.
