US Elections: Three Attorneys For Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania Campaign Team Call To Stand Down; a new lawyer admits there is “ not much evidence ”

Three more attorneys representing President Donald Trump’s campaign in Pennsylvania have asked to withdraw from the lawsuit challenging the results of the US elections in the state.

In a further blow to the legal offer, the judge presiding over the Williamsport case denied a request to delay the case after the latest shock.

Court documents show that attorneys – Linda Kerns, John Scott and Douglas Bryan Hughes – had made the request to drop the case on Monday, adding that “the campaign consented to his removal.”

The judge who heard the case, Middle District Judge Matthew W Brann, allowed Scott and Hughes to stand down, but not Kerns, according to reports.

Attorney Marc Scaringi has joined the case and will be Trump’s lead attorney.

Scaringi had asked for a postponement, saying she needed “additional time to properly prepare.” But the judge denied the request.

Scaringi, a Harrisburg attorney, hosts a conservative radio show and volunteered for the Trump campaign in 2016. He ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate in 2012.

Brad Heath, a Reuters reporter, tweeted that Scaringi “told listeners of his radio show on November 7” in my opinion, there really are no bombs that are about to fall that will derail Biden’s presidency, including lawsuits. ‘and suggested Trump’s demands.’ doesn’t seem to have much evidence. ‘ “

Yesterday, the Trump campaign withdrew its request in the demand that hundreds of thousands of absentee and mail ballots (682,479, to be precise) be thrown out because they were processed without their representatives being able to see them.

Jenna Ellis, legal adviser for the Trump campaign, said the latest change was routine.

“The president announced Saturday that he asked Mayor Rudy Giuliani to lead the national legal team, along with the local attorney. Our local attorney replacement is consistent with the routine handling of complex litigation,” said Jenna Ellis, legal counsel for the Trump campaign. it said in a statement.

A few days ago, a prominent regional law firm, Porter Wright Morris and Arthur, also withdrew from the case.

The Williamsport case is the latest significant legal challenge of the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania. President-elect Joe Biden leads by more than 65,000 votes in the state.

Bruce Green, a professor of legal ethics at Fordham Law School, called the lawsuits “almost frivolous” and will not change the outcome of the elections, even if they are successful, he said.

“It’s doomed anyway. So does it really make a difference if another attorney comes in? I think, in the opinion of most people, these cases are not being presented with any expectation that they will prevail,” Green said.
