Prosecutors are increasingly pitting ex-members of Donald Trump's legal team against him.
Jenna Ellis has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. | John Bazemore/APIn two courtrooms 800 miles apart on Tuesday, a stark reality for former President Donald Trump became clearer than ever: If Trump is taken down in his myriad criminal and civil cases, it will likely be at the hands of his own former lawyers.
“He’s had lawyers abandon their ethics for him for decades,” he said. “And he puts enormous pressure on lawyers. That’s why Trump went through a lot of lawyers, in my own view.” Trump and his current lawyers have already moved to distance the former president from figures like Ellis and Powell. Cohen, who turned on his former boss years ago, gets harsher treatment: a scathing, direct attack on his character.
“I can say personally that I do not believe the state will call him to testify on their behalf,” Grubman told MSNBC’s Katie Phang. “If they do, and I’m wrong, Mr. Chesebro will be there, he will testify truthfully. If I were the state, I would not call him.” “MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday, three days after Powell entered her plea deal in Georgia., to tout Powell by name, along with Ellis, as part of “a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!” And in December 2020, hespecial counsel to empower her to seize voting machines and investigate her fringe claims of voter fraud. Trump ultimately reversed course amid pushback from his White House staff.
