JUST IN: Three more attorneys withdraw from representing Trump campaign in Pennsylvania suit

Three attorneys representing President Trump’s campaign withdrew from a lawsuit challenging the election results in Pennsylvania on Monday.

Attorneys Linda Kerns, John Scott and Douglas Bryan Hughes filed a motion to withdraw from the case Monday evening. The motion said that Marc Scaringi, an attorney in Harrisburg, would now represent the campaign.

The motion came the evening before a hearing scheduled in the case, which was filed one week ago.

“Plaintiffs and Linda A. Kerns, John Scott, and Douglas Bryan Hughes have reached a mutual agreement that Plaintiffs will be best served if Linda A. Kerns, John Scott, and Douglas Bryan Hughes withdraw, and Marc A. Scaringi represent Plaintiffs in this case,” states the motion filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Last Thursday, the law firm Porter Wright Morris & Arthur also moved to withdraw from the same case in Pennsylvania.

Lawyers for the campaign filed the suit last Monday, claiming that Pennsylvania implemented an illegal system in which voters were held to different standards depending whether they cast ballots in person or by mail.

The Trump campaign pared down its suit in an amended filing on Sunday, dropping a request for over 680,000 ballots to be thrown out because they were processed without election observers given adequate ability to watch the process. The campaign is asking the court to block the certification of the state’s results.
