Because Trump’s main lawyer distanced their defense from him last night.
Did you watch it???
Perhaps there was an agreement that they were getting killed over his radical ideas so the compromise was to remove him and strategy was to distance themselves.
But the plane excuse is ridiculous.
If the defense asked him to leave, that’s the opposite of what the headline suggests. That the lawyers had a disagreement over legal concepts isn’t alarming. In any case, he was kind of a specialist, made his case, and wasn’t needed for the Q & A.
