Trump names new legal team after 2 lawyers resign

Donald Trump is getting a new legal team to handle his federal indictment. Two lawyers have quit the former president’s defense team as Trump prepares to appear in federal court on Tuesday. In a joint statement, Jim Trusty and John Rowley said they resigned as Trump’s counsel and “will no longer represent him in either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation.” On social media, the former president announced he would now be represented by Todd Blanche, a New York lawyer who is representing him in another criminal case in Manhattan Supreme Court.
