Trump lawyer no longer representing ex-president's aide after clients became 'adversarial'

Source: Raw Story

A key member of Donald Trump's legal defense team has reportedly dropped one of the former president's associates, Boris Epshteyn, as a client as it became clear that the two were considered adversarial to each other due to a recent Arizona criminal indictment.

Hugo Lowell, political investigations reporter for The Guardian, reported after Epshteyn was indicted in Arizona that "Trump lawyer Todd Blanche may soon have to choose whether loyalty is [with] Trump or Boris Epshteyn — clients who are now likely adversarial to each other."

Lowell noted that, while "Trump is charged [with] 2020 election subversion in DC and Georgia," Epshteyn has been "charged [with] 2020 election subversion in Arizona."

In an updated post, Lowell stated that "Trump lawyer Todd Blanche is no longer representing Boris Epshteyn, per person familiar."

"Unclear when the representation ended," he said. "Blanche told Epshteyn tonight that he needs to find an Arizona lawyer ASAP."
