If you’ve been keeping tabs on the legal affairs of one Donald Trump, you likely know that the ex-president is currently struggling to find lawyers willing to represent him in the classified-documents case brought by the Department of Justice. The search for attorneys was necessary by not one, not two, but three lawyers who were working for Trump up and quitting over the course of less than a month, with two of them giving notice just one day after Trump was indicted.

On the one hand—with the major caveat that he was, in fact, criminally charged in April by the Manhattan district attorney’s office over his hush money deals—the ex-president has effectively escaped any real repercussions for seven-plus decades of bad behavior ranging from the disturbing and f–ked up to the (allegedly) criminal. On the other hand, it’s not looking great for the guy!

Parlatore’s exit is the latest example of tension and turmoil in Trump’s legal shop. The former president has often surrounded himself by lawyers with competing strategies.
Trump was recently found liable earlier this month in a federal civil trial in New York for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. He was represented in the trial by Joe Tacopina, a New York based lawyer who has also represented other Trump allies, including Kimberly Guilfoyle and Sean Hannity.
Parlatore’s distaste for Tacopina was evident in a recent CNN appearance, when anchor Kaitlan Collins pressed Parlatore on Tacopina’s work for Trump in yet…
