Dershowitz, author of the book "Get Trump," said that one of the problems for the former president is that he is having difficulty assembling a legal team, because an extremist organization called Project 65 has threatened to file Bar charges against anyone who dares to represent Trump.

There are two reasons Trump may be having problems assembling his legal team. The first is that he has a reputation for not paying his lawyers. In this instance it's possible Trump's PAC is paying the lawyers, so maybe that's not the problem.
The second is that he must be a very difficult client to work for. Apparently he's put Evan Corcoran in a position where Corcoran felt compelled to provide evidence that's damning to Trump, despite attorney client privilege. I believe he's Attorney 1 in the indictment about the confidential records (see link), and also believe Corcoran is still working for Trump.
Remember Michael Cohen, another attorney, went to jail on account of Trump, and tax evasion.

And getting a little off topic, not paying your lawyers can backfire. Rudy Giuliani was happy working for free. And he's arguably responsible for both of Trump's impeachments.
