A lawyer representing Donald Trump has parted ways with the former president for the second time in a week, dropping out of a defamation lawsuit over “irreconcilable differences.”
Attorney Jim Trusty, of the Washington-based Ifrah Law, PLLC, filed paperwork (pdf) on Friday to stop representing Trump in a defamation case Trump is pursuing against CNN. The lawsuit alleges CNN harmed his reputation by referring to him as a “racist,” “Russian lackey,” “insurrectionist,” and even “Hitler.”
