A law firm that has long defended Donald J. Trump’s campaign and businesses from employment lawsuits has abruptly asked to withdraw from a yearslong case over what it calls an “irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship.”
Simples. The breakdown. They want to get paid. He does not want / can't / hasn't grifted enough yet to pay.

...probably.

This is just sad, SAD!

Trump's lawyers have appeared to adjust his courtroom optics, too. Trump now has a stack of papers before him, which he marks up during testimony and brings out to cite during remarks to the press. When lawyers huddle with the judge at the bench, one attorney often remains at the defense table so Trump isn't seen sitting alone — which some have said makes him look small.

I can't get the image of Donaldo, jerking like a malfunctioning oil derrick, mounted atop a incredulous Stormy Daniels, wheezing aloud how much she reminds him of his daughter.

Then this new hits, and I realize the man's really gonna be president again. Man's a greased turd on a waterslide, and we're in the pool at the bottom.

The part I don't get is if he declassified all the stuff he took, what's the issue with presenting it in court? He showed it to party guests, why not jurors?

Daniels veered into salacious details despite the repeated objections of defense lawyers, who demanded a mistrial over what they said were prejudicial and irrelevant comments.

“This is the kind of testimony that makes it impossible to come back from,” attorney Todd Blanche said. “How can we come back from this in a way that’s fair to President Trump?”

...

“He said: ‘Oh, it was great. Let’s get together again, honey bunch,’” Daniels said. “I just wanted to leave.”

Trump’s reaction to her testimony at the defense table prompted Judge Juan Merchan to summon his lawyers to a quiet discussion at the bench.

“I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, and he is shaking his head visually and that’s contemptuous. It has the potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that,” Merchan said, adding, “I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don’t want to embarrass him.”
