Jailed drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's fight to stave off extradition to the United States has led to a schism among some of the people he's counting on most: his own lawyers. Mexican courts recently approved two U.S. requests for Guzman's extradition and formally sent notification to the Foreign Relations Department. After two of Guzman's attorneys filed an appeal against the extradition request, a third lawyer quickly disavowed it on Saturday. That team is still considering the government's arguments and plans an appeal in the coming weeks that "El Chapo" will approve. Rodriguez added that the lawyers who filed it, Juan Pablo Badillo and Jose Luis Gonzalez Mesa, are not part of the team working on the extradition case.
