A lawyer for President Donald Trump’s campaign moved Thursday to resign from a case in Pennsylvania, citing the storming of the U.S. Capitol the day prior.
In a separate filing, Marcus told the court that he served the motion for leave to a representative of the Trump campaign.
Trump’s campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Trump called on his supporters to be peaceful and respect law enforcement. He later urged them to exit the Capitol and go home.
Marcus was representing Trump’s campaign in a case against the Philadelphia County Board Of Elections.
The campaign alleged the board was blocking poll watchers and campaign representatives from observing the canvassing of ballots. The lawsuit said the board was “intentionally violating state law.”
District Judge Paul Diamond denied a request for an emergency injunction in November 2020. He hasn’t ruled on the broader case as of yet.
