Former President Trump reportedly demoted one of his defense lawyers in the midst of his second impeachment trial due to the attorney's performance on the Senate floor last week.

The New York Times reports that one of Trump’s advisers, Justin Clark, told Bruce Castor last Wednesday that the former president did not want the attorney to again appear on television during the trial.

Castor then reportedly stood up while shouting and arguing that Trump was wrong in demoting him. According to the Times, the argument became so heated that Castor eventually left the conference room, although he later apologized to Clark.

The Times noted that a half-dozen members of Trump’s legal team relayed their accounts of the incident during a meeting in a conference room at the former president's hotel in Washington, D.C

1. That was noticeable

van der Veen clearly took over with his Unfrozen Cavemen Lawyer bit.
Schoen missed the last day due to the Sabbath.

2. I wonder if Trump charged his lawyers for using the conference room

at his hotel in DC? I would imagine they also stayed there.

So, how does that work if Trump refuses to pay them for their services...particularly, Castor? Does he attach a bill from the hotel to the notice of non-payment? If he pays anything, I'll bet it isn't 100%.
