Former President Trump and two of his top attorneys representing him in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation parted ways Friday, just a day after he was indicted.
Trump, the current front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, was indicted on at least seven counts involving obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and illegal retention of classified government material. He has been ordered to appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday. The indictment remains unsealed.
The lawyers representing him ahead of his indictment, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, resigned Friday.
"This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation," Trusty and Rowley said in a statement Friday. "It has been an honor to have spent the last year defending him, and we know he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration’s partisan weaponization of the American justice system.
"Now that the case has been filed in Miami, this is a logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion," they added. "We have no plans to hold media appearances that address our withdrawals or any other confidential communications we’ve had with the President or his legal team."

Beat it NeverTrump, we know your game.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate will do anything to protect their criminal enterprise.
All Democrat have criminal hearts.

“Well that doesn’t bode well for Trump.”
what?! this is another nothing burger. council change due to the different charges is nothing new.
you immediately fall for the media’s perception of rats deserting a sinking ship...
please.
No looking grim for old Trump..
It does if they were bad lawyers.
Is that dork, Jack Smith, gay? Anybody know? Asking for a friend.
Trump may see the inside of a jail next Tuesday afternoon...Judge may say no bail..
If they were bad lawyers then why can’t Trump hire good ones?
The prosecution may have given the lawyers reason to think that the lawyers may be called to testify in the case.
Jeez… you HATE TUCKER, HATE TRUMP and LOVE UKRAINE. What does that say about you?
They may not be specialists in defense inside a courtroom
I doubt they will get a no bail ruling.
From the article, if looks like they stepped back because of the venue.
I think he might..forces of evil are rallying, lock him up and he might meet with a accident..
People can see right through you. Between your Neocon clamoring for perpetual war, to your hatred for Trump, you are the epitome of the GOPe, or perhaps the DNC, but certainly the Uniparty.
Faux headline by Faux for Faux “conservatives”.
Trump is betrayed quite often by those he initially trusts. I was astounded by his staff even at the White House. The deep state has a very large collection of pawns.
Why?
Seems like a good move, since they failed to do their job very well...
IAC, now Trump will have to use "trial" lawyers... A whole different breed of rodent from these prelim guys...
