There’s nothing I hate more than having to withdraw as legal counsel for a client, after putting in months of hard work. But when your client is determined not to listen to you, and in fact has repeatedly gone out of his way to flout your legal advice, there comes a point where you have to admit that the lawyer-client relationship has collapsed and you cannot represent this person any more.
Counsel for the President of the United States apparently felt the same way.
Good luck to Trump finding a replacement. Maybe Joseph Rakofsky is still available, unless he’s in a conflict of interest because he sued Trump along with everyone else on the internet.
