  1. “irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship” = He stopped paying the bills. Every attorney is familiar with this language. 🤣

  2. Soon, he’ll be lucky to find a decent ambulance chaser to represent him.

  3. >The timing of the motion was notable, just two days after the same federal court had ordered the campaign to turn over in discovery all complaints of sexual harassment and gender or pregnancy discrimination from the 2016 and 2020 campaigns —

    >Ms. Delgado, who is representing herself in the matter, objected to the withdrawal in a filing Monday, arguing it should not be allowed until the discovery process has been completed and calling the request a “scheme to avoid compliance.”

    Just another stalling tactic?

  4. Smells like a delay tactic. ‘My new lawyers need time to review all da case files’.

  5. Trump will have an unhinged rant on Truth Social and none of it will be true.

  6. I hope the judge tells them that they knew what Trump was when he hired them. If you lay with dogs, don’t be surprised when you get fleas.

  7. “The apparent rupture with a long-trusted firm comes at a busy time, legally speaking, for the former president.”

    Understatement of the year!

  8. This one seems pretty easy. His campaign probably suggested in a documented form–email or text–that she get an abortion. He can’t afford to let that get out in discovery, so…he won’t. The lawyers have to figure something else out, I guess.

  9. Hmm. They knowdTrump💩lying to them; lawyers hate that. And/ or he is not paying them and/or dTrump💩hit on one of their teenage daughters

    I am betting 1 + 2
    Why don’t think they are dropping him?

    GOP? Or. Dem? Vote wisely.

  10. Gonna go out on a hunch and assume that he hasn’t paid the bill….

  11. “The timing of the motion was notable, just two days after the same federal court had ordered the campaign to turn over in discovery all complaints of sexual harassment and gender or pregnancy discrimination from the 2016 and 2020 campaigns — materials that the defendants have long resisted handing over.”

    AKA: The case is unwinnable because of damning evidence that they’re being forced to turn over, so the law firm is cutting their losses.

  12. Maybe they smell the potential of getting no more money.

  13. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. 

    the former president needs a public defense attorney. The winning never stops! 😂

  14. I didnt even know about these lawsuits:

    “A.J. Delgado, who says she was sidelined by the campaign in 2016 after revealing she was pregnant.”

    “the firm is still representing the campaign in a sexual discrimination and abuse lawsuit filed by Jessica Denson, a former Hispanic outreach coordinator for the 2016 campaign”

    “Last year, the firm helped the Trump campaign negotiate a $450,000 settlement in a separate lawsuit filed by Ms. Denson that challenged the validity of nondisclosure agreements that campaign workers were obliged to sign during the 2016 race.”

    “And in 2022, it helped negotiate a settlement in a suit brought by protesters who claimed that Mr. Trump’s bodyguard Keith Schiller had in 2015 ripped up a sign that read “Trump: Make America Racist Again” and then hit one of them in the head.”

    How many lawsuits is this guy currently settling??
