The impeachment trial starts in 9 days, with the first legal briefs due in two days. Yesterday, five of Trump's lawyers resigned from the case. To the best of my knowledge, they were his entire legal team.
Butch Bowers, the lead lawyer, wanted to argue that the trial was illegal since Trump is no longer president. Trump rejected that defense, and wanted to argue that there was massive election fraud, and that Trump won the election. So, with the trial days away, Trump has no strategy and no legal team.
As a general rule, a lawyer will resign from a case if the client asks the lawyer to present a legal argument which is a lie, is unethical, or is dangerous to the client. I won't bother providing a link, since every news website is giving major coverage to this story.
