Two of the leading lawyers tapped to defend Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial abruptly parted ways with the former president on Saturday
Reuters reports that Butch Bowers and Deborah Barberi, two South Carolina lawyers, are no longer on Mr Trump's team, according to a source familiar with the situation who said their exit was a mutual decision.
A further source said that an additional three lawyers associated with the defence, Josh Howard of North Carolina, and Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris of South Carolina, are also off the team.
Mr Trump and Mr Bowers are said to have had differences of opinion over strategy ahead of the trial.

Trump has told staff not to pay Rudy Giuliani over irritation at being impeached again
President Donald Trump, irritated at being impeached for a second time, has told people to stop paying Rudy Giuliani's legal fees, a person familiar with the matter tells CNN, though aides were not clear if the President was serious about his instructions given he's lashing out at nearly everyone after the day's events.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel even OJ Simpson did not have them bailing out on him right at the precipice of the trial. Behind closed doors they argued, quit, and rejoined the effort and got through the ordeal. I wonder what wheels are turning in the background. FYI SPC Nancy Greene
