Nothing has changed, folks. It continues to be the case that no one wants to represent Donald Trump in the Russia probe. The AP writes:
Though more lawyers may come aboard soon, Trump has time and again struck out in landing some of Washington’s most notable attorneys. [...]
A major law firm that contemplated an overture to one of its lawyers was turned off by the idea of a “client who attacks the essence of our legal system” and concern that “he treats his lawyers like vendors he can avoid paying,” according to one person at the firm who also spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential client matters. That concern is rooted in a multitude of lawsuits Trump and his business organization have faced from lawyers, real estate brokers and others over unpaid bills. Just one example: A Florida golf club owned by Trump agreed this year to a multimillion-dollar settlement with former members who said the club refused to refund their deposits.
“Obviously this is an unusual situation because it’s perfectly obvious that Mr. Trump likes to be his own lawyer, and lawyers have to be concerned about their own reputation. And I’m sure that factors into their thinking,” said Bill Jeffress, once part of President Richard Nixon’s legal team.
Stiffing people, among other things, has clearly come back to haunt Trump at the most consequential legal moment of his life. There's some kind of sweet justice in that.
