NEW: Ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon asked a judge to let him change lawyers Thursday as he defends himself against charges that he defrauded donors to the 'We Build the Wall' campaign.
Bannon ignored questions from reporters asking if he was advising anyone in Brazil's protest movement.Inside the courtroom, Bannon attorney David Schoen told Judge Juan Merchan that "irreconcilable differences have arisen" on Bannon's defense team.Merchan, however, was skeptical.
Schoen said that he, co-counsel John Mitchell, and Bannon have different approaches to the case, and at this point only speak to one another through a third party. Schoen, becoming more heated, said, "It's not a fair picture when they stand up and say we're trying to delay."Merchan then summoned lawyers to the bench and sternly addressed Bannon's legal team.
The judge declined a request from co-counsel John Mitchell to immediately terminate him and Schoen as Bannon's lawyers.
