According to CNN, five of Trump's defense attorneys have left his legal team just days away from his House trial.

The former President did not get along with the high-profile attorneys, insisting that his defense should focus on voter fraud rather than their approach to questioning the legality of convicting a former president.

The dispute was triggered by the difference of opinions, with Trump telling the team he can defend himself and save money, the report alleged.

    “We have done much work, but have not made a final decision on our legal team, which will be made shortly,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said.

    The former commander-in-chief has until Tuesday to file his response to the second impeachment. His trial is set to start on Feb.9.
