A lawyer for President Donald Trump’s campaign moved Thursday to resign from a case in Pennsylvania, citing the storming of the U.S. Capitol the day prior.

Jerome Marcus announced the action in a court filing (pdf). He said he was asking to withdraw as counsel for the case pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct “inasmuch as the client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement.”
