1 MIN AGO: Trump Loses It as Ivanka's Lawyer Quits Mid-Case—Judge Refuses to Delay

Описание: 🚨 BREAKING: Lead Counsel Michael Harrison Files Emergency Withdrawal Citing Irreconcilable Differences as Trial Actively in Session
At 2:47 PM Eastern on February 15th, Michael Harrison, Ivanka Trump's lead federal litigator with 22 years of experience, submitted an emergency withdrawal motion and walked out of federal court while her fraud trial was actively in session. Judge Katherine Burman granted the withdrawal immediately after reviewing Harrison's sealed declaration but flatly refused any trial delay, giving Ivanka just 72 hours to find replacement counsel before proceedings resume Monday at 9:00 AM. Sources familiar with the sealed filing say the withdrawal stems directly from Trump's repeated interference in defense strategy, including documented instances where he overruled Harrison's professional recommendations and issued non-negotiable tactical demands during a late-night confrontation call.
This video explains the February 14th breaking point that triggered the crisis, the 90-minute confrontational call between Harrison and Trump, what Judge Burman's sealed declaration review revealed, why prominent defense attorneys are already declining to take the case, and what happens Monday morning if Ivanka cannot secure representation in time.
