Trump complains about 'overpaid' lawyers and sets limits on what they can charge: report

Former President Donald Trump often complains that the massive legal team he's assembled to bring him through four criminal and two civil cases are overpaid, according to a new report.

Some of Trump's lawyers were told not to charge more than $750 an hour after his political advisers blanched at their bills, the Washington Post reported Monday.

Their demanding client is loath to take advice and bad news from his cases sometimes spurs him to change his story, sources told the Post.

“That’s the biggest issue of representing him," said a person who has worked with Trump in the past. "It’s impossible to get him to agree to a unified set of facts."

Not only are these attorneys faced with the unprecedented situation of having a former president as a client, they're also trying to work with one on the campaign trail, the Post notes.

This frequently proves a problem when Trump takes his political rhetoric to Truth Social without consulting a legal team that reads his angry screeds along side the public.

"Trump posts on social media without telling anyone," the report reads, "leaving his advisers and lawyers to read his missives at the same time as the public."
