Representing a president wasn’t always this publicly messy.

For months, President Trump’s ever-changing crew of lawyers has had its hands full dealing with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling. But the visible chaos surrounding the legal team in the past few weeks has been especially striking.

“It looks like a train wreck,” said Andy Wright, a White House lawyer during Democratic administrations.

Between its high turnover rate, the public spillover of its negotiations with Mueller, and its contradictory press statements, Trump’s team contrasts sharply with the bunkered-down legal operations of presidents past.

Attorneys who worked for previous presidents told TPM the blame lies with Trump himself, who they say is opening himself up to further legal vulnerabilities with the tumultuous approach he’s fomented.
