Many Trump aides have distanced themselves from the former president. You can add several lawyers who served in his White House counsel’s office to the list. - MaddowBlog
But these days, Flood’s nowhere near the former president’s defense. Instead, he’s representing one of Trump’s most prominent, credible accusers. Although Short, unlike Jacob, was not a live witness during the Jan. 6 hearings, numerous clips of his testimony were shown to the public.
Short also testified that he shared Pence’s view, communicated that to then-Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows — and that whatever Meadows might have told Trump or others, he told Short he agreed on at least a couple of occasions. Moreover, Short revealed to the Jan. 6 committee that as Pence’s disagreement with Trump “became more public,” Short was concerned “the president would lash out in some way,” so on Jan. 5, 2021, he notified the head of Pence’s Secret Service detail.
Flood is hardly alone, however, among alumni of the Trump White House counsel’s office in breaking with Trump. And unlike Flood, who has signaled where he stands through the company he keeps , others have taken sides with their words.
