A conflict inside former President Donald Trump’s legal team erupted into public view Saturday as one of his former lawyers went on television to attack one of his current lawyers, who has been the focus of ire from others on the team.
“As I said at the time, it had nothing to do with the case itself or the client,” Parlatore said. “There are certain individuals that made defending the president much harder than it needed to be.”“He did everything he could do to try to block us,” Parlatore said, adding that it’s “difficult enough fighting against DOJ” but that when colleagues are “trying to undermine you, to block you,” that it made it “so I can’t do what I need to do as a lawyer.
Still, Parlatore left open the possibility of returning to Trump’s legal team if certain changes were made. Before making his appearance on TV, Parlatore spoke with Trump, telling him that Epshteyn’s handling of the defense team increased the risk that federal prosecutors would file charges, according to two people familiar with the matter.
With Parlatore gone, two other lawyers — James Trusty and John Rowley — have taken the lead in representing Trump in Smith’s inquiries.
