'Dropping like flies': Trump lawyer quit case citing 'irreconcilable differences'
16 June 2023
Donald Trump has had so many lawyers and so many cases over the years, it’s nearly impossible to keep track.
The Washington Post on Friday attempted to, taking a look at some of the “dozens of attorneys who have defended Trump since 2016.”
Trump is continuing to search for an attorney to add to the exceptionally small legal team defending him in the Special Counsel’s 37 criminal felony indictments case that alleges classified documents mishandling, which includes charges under the Espionage Act, along with obstruction charges, and making false statements.
Part of the problem, reportedly, is lawyers wondering whether or not they will get paid.
Last week two of trump’s lawyers resigned from defending him in that case.

Now, one of those attorneys, Jim Trusty, who appeared on multiple cable news shows adamantly defending the ex-president, has quit, this time from a different case.
Citing “irreconcilable differences,” Trusty notified the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida that he is resigning from Trump’s lawsuit against CNN.
“Mr. Trusty’s withdrawal is based upon irreconcilable differences between Counsel and Plaintiff [Donald Trump] and Counsel can no longer effectively and properly represent Plaintiff,” Trusty writes in his motion to withdrawal which was reported by Politico’sKyle Cheney.
MSNBC anchor and legal contributor Katie Phang commented, “Dropping like flies.”
