Paranoia engulfs Trump legal team as lawyers fear one might be a 'snitch': report

A new report from The Daily Beast claims that former President Donald Trump's legal team has been beset by infighting and paranoia, with some attorneys fearing that others in the group have been snitching to the feds.

One of the biggest problems for the Trump legal team, according to the publication's sources, is that Trump's own actions have turned some of his own attorneys into potential witnesses against him, which has led to fears that they will save themselves by ratting out their client or fellow lawyers.

"The Department of Justice already has one Trump attorney’s professional notes, which could position him as a future witness against his own client, and the DOJ has another lawyer who said too much in an unrelated case and has positioned herself as yet another potential witness against her client," the report notes.

The Daily Beast also notes that longtime Trump ally Boris Epshteyn has been a source of chaos in legal proceedings, as he has apparently blocked more experienced attorneys' legal strategies in the federal Mar-a-Lago documents probe.

"Boris pissed off all the Florida lawyers," one source tells The Daily Beast. "People are dropping like flies. Everybody hates him. He’s a toxic loser. He’s a complete psycho... He’s got daddy issues, and Trump is his daddy."

Trump has already been criminally indicted in New York for making allegedly illegal hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, and he also faces criminal probes from both special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
