Trump's "suicidal" legal strategy

Donald Trump's legal team has been "plagued by infighting" — and the former president has continued to stoke tensions among his attorneys even as he faces multiple local and federal criminal investigations, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Manhattan district attorney is investigating Trump's role in wire payments sent to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016, while the Fulton County, Ga., district attorney is probing Trump and his allies' attempts to overturn the state's presidential election results. Special counsel Jack Smith is delving into the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, as well as his role in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But behind the scenes, Trump's team has "suffered frequent turnover due to clashes over personality and legal strategy," according to WSJ.
