Trump, lawyers part ways after federal indictment

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"This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation," Trusty and Rowley said in a statement Friday.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."

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.

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.

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.

"Well that doesn't bode well for Trump."

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...
