Trump Legal Team in Disarray: Lawyer Quits Over Infighting and Interference Allegations

Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer who recently resigned from Donald Trump's legal team, cited disagreements with top Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn as the reason for his departure. Parlatore accused Epshteyn of hindering the legal team's efforts to defend Trump in a Justice Department special counsel investigation. He claimed that Epshteyn had served as a "filter" in preventing the legal team from getting information about the investigation to or from Trump and had impeded a defense strategy aimed at helping "educate (Attorney General) Merrick Garland as to how best to handle this matter."

Former Trump Lawyer Cites Infighting as Reason for Departure from Legal Team

Timothy Parlatore, a former attorney for Donald Trump's legal team, has said that he left because of infighting, particularly with Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, who he claims made defending the former president harder than it needed to be. Parlatore also accused Epshteyn of being dishonest and attempting to interfere with the team's efforts to search some of Trump's properties for classified documents. Trump's campaign has disputed Parlatore's claims. The former attorney's departure comes as special counsel Jack Smith appears to be in the final stretch of investigations into the possible mishandling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election by Trump.

Trump lawyer Timothy Parlatore resigns from legal team amid Mar-a-Lago probe.

Timothy Parlatore, a top attorney for Donald Trump, has announced his departure from the former president's legal team. Parlatore has been part of the group of lawyers representing Trump in multiple criminal investigations, including the mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and the involvement of Trump and his inner circle in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and organize the events that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Parlatore's departure comes as prosecutors have gathered evidence from dozens of witnesses in both cases, many of whom have now testified to grand juries in Washington.

Trump's Legal Team Loses Key Lawyer Amid Mar-a-Lago Probe

Timothy Parlatore, a key lawyer representing Donald Trump in a special counsel investigation of his handling of classified documents, has left the former president's legal team. Parlatore had been a staunch defender of Trump, calling special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the former president's retention of classified documents "improper." Last year, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel investigating Trump's handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by his supporters.

Trump's Legal Team Loses Key Attorney

Timothy Parlatore, a key attorney for Donald Trump who played a role in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation and testified before the grand jury, has left the former president's legal team. Parlatore's departure comes as special counsel Jack Smith appears to be in the final stretch of investigations into the possible mishandling of classified documents and efforts to obstruct the 2020 election. Parlatore recently co-authored a letter to House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner asking Congress to tell the Justice Department to step aside because they believe the intelligence community should conduct the investigation into what happened with the classified documents.

Trump Lawyer Testifies Before Grand Jury in Classified Docs Probe.

Timothy Parlatore, a top attorney for former President Donald Trump, gave previously undisclosed testimony before a grand jury last December regarding efforts by Trump's team to locate any classified documents that remained in Trump's possession after the FBI's unprecedented August search of his Mar-a-Lago estate. Parlatore's testimony was ordered after months of wrangling between Trump's attorneys and officials in the Justice Department, who had grown increasingly concerned that Trump still continued to hold onto classified documents after more than 100 were discovered in the August 8 search.
