Tensions arise on Trump's legal team as impeachment defense gets underway: Sources [View all]
Just hours before Donald Trump's attorneys are to launch their defense of the former president in his Senate impeachment trial, sources tell ABC News that there is growing tension within the legal team.
Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell ABC News that Trump wants attorney Bruce Castor to have a reduced role in the presentation in favor of co-counsel David Schoen, which they say is leading to some infighting. Multiple sources close to Trump say they are hoping that Schoen takes control and wraps up the defense's presentation on Friday.
However, in an appearance on Newsmax Friday morning, Trump senior adviser Jason (balloon head) Miller said that Friday would be "redemption day" for Castor and that his arguments were going to be crisper and tighter.
Earlier Friday morning, sources say a frustrated Trump even went so far as to toss out ideas for other attorneys who could join his defense team at the eleventh hour, although they agreed that is unlikely.
