President Trump’s legal team has been shaken up — with the resignation of spokesman Mark Corallo and the possible ouster of personal attorney Marc Kasowitz, according to multiple reports.
Corallo resigned Thursday night, CBS News reported.
The longtime GOP operative had been handling the White House’s defense in the wide-ranging Russia investigation, according to Politico.
He had worked for the House committee that probed President Bill Clinton in the 1990s before leaving for the Justice Department under then-Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Kasowitz — who represented Trump since the early 2000s and led the defense in the Trump University fraud case — is no longer the president’s outside counsel, according to CBS.
But according to ABC News, Kasowitz has not been outright removed from the team. The New York Times reported that he was not gone but has a “lesser role.”
Kasowitz made headlines recently when he sent threatening emails to a retired public relations professional who had said the attorney should step down.

Hmmmm.
Good news, bad news, fake news?
Hoping for some real Freeper insight.
Add this to the shakeup in communications and it appears that the long rumored major reshuffling of the administration is now underway. We’ll see where the dust settles.
Looks like we are needing a refresh on the Black Sunday rumor as the musical chairs music is starting to get louder.
As we saw from the campaign, Trump will not hesitate to change staff when need be.
I hate the concept, but he needs a politico critter that can fight the opposition on the same plane. This is no gentleman's match.
IMO it seems PDJT has made the determination that this is a fight for his presidency and the nation.
It’s time to get tough.
Sessions will be next - either to take some aggressive action against the coup or to resign.

That’s why Jay Sekulow jumped in.
Far more conversant with the political back haul than Kasowitz.

He should fire the stupid atty that said that the finances were beyond the Statute of Limitations!!! Like there HAD been crimes....what an IDIOT ATTY Trump has!!
Yes. This is a street fight.
Trump really needs like a James Baker type WH Chief of Staff, like Reagan had in his first term. Sadly, I don’t know who that would be today.
Kasowitz wasnt right for a DC fight. I still laugh at misspelling president in a press release.
Corallo was a questionable hire due to online comments
New lawyer ...dowd..defended mccain in the keating five mess
That was Dowd..lawyer in Keating Five mccain mess
His six month anniversary and time to evaluate results. As in any good business; periodic evaluation, review and corrective action are essential. That he is doing - love it!!!
Getting ready for the coming Saturday night massacre at Justice? Likely in my opinion.
seriously??? omg.
I agree.
Since many Democrats have probably never built a really successful business, a business not kept alive by unconstitutional federal grants, they probably hire certain people to return favors instead of testing new employees with probation periods (aka introductory periods).
Trump is likely using probation periods to build a top-notch staff.
Trump’s about 12 attorneys short...
