Law firm attempting to block Biden’s win in Pennsylvania leaves controversial Trump campaign case
A law firm representing the President’s campaign in a controversial and long-shot attempt to block Pennsylvania’s popular vote for Joe Biden is leaving the case.
The firm, Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, had two Pittsburgh-based lawyers leading the effort for the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania. Both told a judge in an overnight filing they were withdrawing, and the Trump campaign may bring in new counsel.
The Trump campaign is now down to one lawyer in the federal court effort in Pennsylvania — a solo practitioner in Philadelphia named Linda Ann Kerns who touts her media appearances and commentary as much as her legal experience.
