Two now-former Trump lawyers claim it makes sense for them to step down following Trump’s classified documents case indictment. Attorney and legal analyst KatiePhang explains why it makes little legal sense at all.
, former President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he was getting a new lawyer to defend him against special counsel Jack Smith and the U.S. government.
by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, relating to alleged hush money payments to former adult film star Stormy Daniels. It appears Blanche will continue to serve as lead counsel in the Manhattan criminal case while he now takes over the reins in thisBlanche was a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York before he went into private practice as a white-collar criminal defense attorney at the white glove, white shoe law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.
Citing the classified documents case’s being filed in Miami, Trusty and Rowley claim that it makes sense for them to step down. But it actually doesn’t make sense for the two lawyers who have been driving a client’s defense to resign from the case at the exact moment the indictment is returned, especially for some lame excuse like the case was filed in another jurisdiction.
The fact that both lawyers are also resigning from the Jan. 6 investigation doesn’t make sense, either. What does an indictment’s being filed in Miami have to do with that investigation by Smith? And why did both lawyers resign? Were they a package deal? Lots of head scratchers here, but the least confusing thing is the fact that nothing is ever normal or rational in Trump Legal World.
