☆ Lawyer who quit Trump legal team cites disagreements with Trump adviser as basis for departure
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A lawyer who quit Donald Trump's legal team this past week attributed his decision Saturday to strategy disagreements with a close adviser to the former president. He singled out Boris Epshteyn, another lawyer and top Trump adviser in multiple criminal investigations, whom he accused of "doing everything he could to try to block us to prevent us from doing what we could to defend the president." In a statement responding to Parlatore's comments, a Trump spokesman said, "Mr. Parlatore is no longer a member of the legal team. His statements regarding current members of the legal team are unfounded and categorically false." In his interview, Parlatore said Epshteyn had served as a "filter" in preventing the legal team from getting information about the investigation to or from Trump.
☆ Former Trump Lawyer Describes Conflict Inside Legal Team
  + stars: | 2023-05-20 | by ( Alan Feuer | Maggie Haberman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A conflict inside former President Donald J. Trump’s legal team erupted into public view on 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. The former lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, withdrew this past week from representing Mr. Trump in the special counsel’s investigations into his handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But Mr. Parlatore did not explain the reasons behind his departure at the time, saying only that it was not related to the merits of the inquiries. Appearing on CNN on Saturday, Mr. Parlatore disclosed that his departure had been spurred by irreconcilable differences with Boris Epshteyn, another lawyer who has been working as something akin to an in-house counsel for the former president, hiring lawyers and coordinating their efforts to defend Mr. Trump. Mr. Parlatore described how Mr. Epshteyn had hindered him and other lawyers from getting information to Mr. Trump, leaving the former president’s legal team at a disadvantage in dealing with the Justice Department, which is scrutinizing Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents after leaving office and his efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election.
☆ A Trump lawyer backed away from signing a false statement that no more government records were held at Mar-a-Lago: Reports
  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A Trump lawyer signed a June statement to the DOJ saying there were no more records at Mar-a-Lago. She insisted on adding a disclaimer that she had not searched Mar-a-Lago herself, reports said. FBI agents had visited Mar-a-Lago in June, when Trump aides handed over boxes of government records Trump had been keeping there. It found hundreds more government records, including highly classified intelligence, being held in a store room and Trump's offices. Officials at the National Archives requested that Trump return records he'd taken with him only months after he left office in 2021, and subsequently made repeated attempts to get him to hand over the documents.

Instead, Trump’s lead lawyer in the case at the time, Evan Corcoran, drafted it and told her to sign it, Bobb told investigators according to the sources. In an Aug. 31 court filing, which included a copy of the certification, the Justice Department called the statement's veracity into question. Bobb gave her testimony Friday in Washington and spoke to federal investigators, not the grand jury investigating Trump, the source with knowledge of her testimony said. The Justice Department has in court filings pushed back against the claims of evidence-planting, and Trump’s attorneys have so far not raised those claims in court. The day after Bobb spoke to investigators, The New York Times reported how Trump resisted the federal government’s longstanding requests for the documents, involving aides and lawyers.

Law enforcement activity has not pushed these false electors from their political perches.

Then there are additional actors that didn’t serve in the slate of false electors themselves but were instrumental in the scheme. Others hold positions of power within the state GOP, including Shafer, who is chair; Joseph Brannan, state GOP treasurer; Vikki Consiglio, the state party’s assistant treasurer; and Ken Carroll, the assistant secretary. On June 21, federal agents scattered across key states to deliver subpoenas to those who acted as Trump electors.
