By Cristina Laila Jun. 9, 2023
Attorneys Jim Trusty and John Rowley stepped down on Friday after Trump was indicted by a Florida grand jury on at least 7 counts.
“This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation,” the lawyers wrote.
Trump said he will be represented by Todd Blanche in the Florida case.
Additional lawyers will be announced soon.
“For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later. I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and “sick” group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before. We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days. When will Joe Biden be Indicted for his many crimes against our Nation? MAGA!” Trump said on Truth Social
The Florida grand jury indicted Trump on at least 7 charges.
