Joe Tacopina, Chad Seigel, and Matthew DeOreo
On Monday, Tacopina, a criminal defense lawyer who has represented many celebrities and high-profile figures, and his two partners announced they are no longer representing Trump in the alleged falsification of business records trial in New York.
Drew Findling
The Georgia attorney, who uses the #BillionDollarLawyer tag on Instagram, is another former Trump attorney who is known for representing celebrities, including numerous rappers.
Findling stepped away from Trump's legal team in the Georgia election interference case, where the former president pleaded not guilty to 13 charges, just hours before he surrendered to authorities in Fulton County in August 2023.
Jim Trusty and John Rowley
The pair announced in June 2023 that they will no longer be representing Trump in either the classified documents case, where Trump has pleaded not guilty to 40 charges, or the federal investigation where Trump has pleaded not guilty to four counts over his alleged criminal attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
Tim Parlatore
Parlatore quit representing Trump in the federal investigation over allegations the former president illegally retained sensitive and secret materials after he left the White House in January 2021, and then obstructed the federal attempt to retrieve them from his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The lawyer told CNN in May 2023 that he left Trump's team because there were "certain individuals that made defending the president much harder than it needed to be," including longtime Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn. "It had nothing to do with the case itself or the client."
Rudy Giuliani
Trump cut all official ties with the former New York mayor in February 2021.
Giuliani played a key role in Trump's failed bid to overturn the 2020 election results and was indicted alongside the former president and 17 others under Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' Georgia probe.
Sidney Powell
In November 2020, Trump fired the election conspiracy theorist and QAnon advocate after she pushed baseless voter fraud claims.
Powell pleaded guilty in October 2023 to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit interference with election duties. She was also indicted in the Georgia case along with Trump.
Linda Kerns, John Scott, and Douglas Bryan Hughes
In November 2020, three Trump attorneys said they would be withdrawing from Trump's alleged attempts to block Pennsylvania from certifying its election results via the courts.
While filing a motion to withdraw from the case, Kerns, Scott and Hughes said Trump "will be best served" if they left the case.
The same month, lawyers at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur also confirmed in a statement they would be withdrawing from the Pennsylvania election lawsuit.
