Trump campaign lawyers' bid to withdraw from discrimination case gets closed-door hearing

• A federal judge in New York scheduled a closed-door meeting to deal with a request by lawyers for Donald Trump's presidential campaign to withdraw from a gender discrimination lawsuit filed by former senior advisor to his 2016 White House bid.
• The law firm at LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Kittredge, Carlin & McPartland last Friday in a court motion asked to withdraw from the case filed by Arlene "A.J." Delgado because of what it called "an irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship between the Firm and the Campaign."
• Delgado's suit, filed in 2019, alleges that she was stripped of her job responsibilities as advisor and director of Hispanic outreach for Trump's campaign in late 2016 and prevented from taking an expected job in the White House because of her disclosure that she had become pregnant by the then- and now-Trump campaign advisor Jason Miller.

A federal judge in New York scheduled a closed-door meeting Wednesday afternoon on a request by lawyers for Donald Trump's presidential campaign to withdraw from a gender discrimination lawsuit filed by former senior advisor to his 2016 White House bid.

The law firm at LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Kittredge, Carlin & McPartland asked to withdraw from the case filed by Arlene "A.J." Delgado last Friday in a court motion, because of what it called "an irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship between the Firm and the Campaign."

The filings said the firm "respectfully requests leave to explain to the Court in camera" the details of that breakdown.

In camera proceedings are conducted by judges without members of the public or press present.

Magistrate Judge Katharine Parker said she would conduct an in camera conference on the firm's request
