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