Former President Donald Trump s legal team got him acquitted of the charges he faced in the Senate, but days after, one of them is providing insight into the team s dysfunction.
David Schoen, one of Trump s lead attorneys for the case, criticized his former co-counselor in an interview with
Jewish Insider published on Monday, arguing that former acting Pennsylvania Attorney General Bruce Castor assumed outsize influence even though he was supposed to play a supporting role.
“[Trump’s team] asked me if I would work with [Castor], if I would take the lead and so on, but then, [Castor] would help me, and he has a firm that can help and all that,” he said. “I’m not sure that message was communicated to him clearly enough because he never seemed to quite understand that I was supposed to be the lead in the case.”
