There are signs former president Donald Trump may be struggling to assemble his legal team in the hours leading up to his arraignment at a Miami federal courthouse.
A Tuesday morning filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida indicated Trump would be represented by at least two attorneys, including top former federal prosecutor Todd Blanche and former Florida solicitor general Chris Kise. The pair have represented Trump in a range of past and ongoing litigation.
Kise was previously sidelined from the Mar-a-Lago documents case in September. His appearance on Tuesday could be a signal that Trump is still struggling to find adequate representation after reports that the former president was having trouble finding a specialist national security lawyer eligible to possess a security clearance.
The former president's legal team was reshuffled last week when two of his attorneys, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, resigned the day after the indictment.
