Updated 6:30 p.m. ET
Stephen K. Bannon, the former adviser to President Trump who is known for his right-wing extremism, suggested on Thursday that the F.B.I. director and Dr. Anthony S. Fauci should be beheaded, and Twitter responded by banning one of his accounts.
On Friday, a prominent lawyer who was defending Mr. Bannon against fraud charges in federal court in Manhattan abruptly moved to drop him as a client, one person familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Bannon is in the process of retaining new counsel, the lawyer, William A. Burck, said in a brief letter to the court, giving no explanation.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Bannon declined to comment.
The loss of his white-shoe representation was just the latest setback for Mr. Bannon, 66, who has struggled for political relevance since losing his job at the White House eight months after Mr. Trumps inauguration.
